Woman Carrying Grasses

Patrick Scott was an Irish painter and sculptor whose abstract work emerged from geometric principles and a sustained engagement with color relationships. Active from the 1940s onward, his paintings and reliefs employed grids, tessellations, and carefully modulated palettes to investigate the intersection of mathematics and visual perception. Scott's practice reflected the postwar expansion of abstraction into European modernism, grounded in a disciplined, constructive sensibility rather than gestural expression.
