 For a tour of the nude figure series please CLICK the picture "To bring the figure into focus, I use a semi-classical approach in oils ... to show the true beauty of the female figure, I use empathy and finesse." Patricia Richardson Logie has been doing commission work in Vancouver - mostly in the area of portraiture - for the last forty years. Her work is representational, her technique is strong, vibrant, and with a great sense of life force, her brushwork is of the bravura school of painting. Between 1970 and 1983, Logie painted in London, England, where she attended Sir John Cass College and exhibited extensively during that time with The Cass Group, The Royal Society of Portrait Painters, The Society of Women Artists and The Pastel Society. During that time she also exhibited in Canada with the Federation of Canadian Artists and The Society of Women Artists in 1979. She also taught portraiture at the Federation and the University of British Columbia. In 1983 Patricia turned her energies to Canada and started the series 'Chronicles of Pride', consisting of thirty-one paintings, a truly Canadian project concerning the contributions being made to society by contemporary Canadian Aboriginals. Through various circumstances, she came to the belief that it was her responsibility as an artist to show Aboriginal people in their true light. In 1990 her book Chronicles of Pride was published and in 1991 the Teacher's Resource Guide was published to accompany the book into the schools along with the video directed by Loretta Todd. |

Artist Statement : In painting the aboriginal people I wanted to show the dignity eminating from them. I wanted to show the life, the talent, the knowledge, inteligence and spirituality. This is what I see and want to thank them and I wanted the world to acknowledge the reality of these wonderful fellow human beings. I want to be seen by a large audiance that it may touch many lives. | |||
