Catalogue Note
Poet, playwright and physician, Gieve Patel’s expressionistic body of work, such as the present oil painting from 1991, Untitled (Near the Bus Stop), espouses the simple, poetic beauty of a solitary human interaction; the narrative of a playwright setting a scene; and the pathos of physician intimate with the human condition.
