When comparing this exhibition with her 2004 show in this gallery, Pat Lipsky�s paintings seem to have settled into a signature style. The format, then as now, is presented as 10 vertical forms that break at different places in the approximate center of the canvases.  Variation in the work is marked by differences in color and subtle disparities in the dimensions of the forms.  The color is often quite refreshing such as when a suite of blues bounces up against a collection of whites and soft grays.  From this perspective the work has become perhaps more meditative; even serious. This is especially evident when compared to her 2003 show where the work then was a lot more whimsical and possessed of a greater sense of humor as manifested in a wide variation of color and form.
