Patricia Kimball can be found most days in a classroom sketching a model from life. Eagerly, she tries to capture the essence of movement and the body in motion-free falling in space and time. She relays that we are all free falling and likes to refer to the quote by Edmund White, “We move so slowly we imagine we can hold onto certain things. If we fell faster we’d call out in panic. But our speed is slow if constant-some things and people are falling at the same rate. Relative to them we don’t seem to be moving at all. But then something we are holding onto accelerates and slides out of our grasp, and suddenly we glimpse the black night rushing through the gap.”
Kimball began her professional art career after graduating with a Masters of Fine Art from the University of Utah in 2000. She earned the first place Juror’s Award at Springville Museum’s Spring Salon in 2005. Her work can be found in many public and private collections. Kimball continues to teach, learn, and show in numerous galleries. Portraying the figure in a free falling state demands the mastery of drawing the human form. Kimball uses her solid drawing skills combined with her use of color, line, and shape, to convey the lightness of her subject matter. The viewer catches a glimpse of time in slow motion, only left to wonder where these figures will fall. |
