Testudo: 7 New York Shows to Ring in the New Year
Known for her intimate portraits featuring individuals and small groups engaging in everyday activities and private moments, Patty Horing has a keen ability to tap into the fundamental emotions that make us human. For her third solo show at Anna Zorina Gallery in Chelsea, Horing explores modern masculinity in new paintings and sculptures. Many show an image of man as a father, embracing the role of caregiver. Others show men alone, relaxing in moments of introspection and vulnerability. Horing seeks to celebrate a nuanced idea of masculinity that includes tenderness and care for others.
Quiet Lunch Magazine: Interview: The Last Days of A Few Good Men.
There is something familiar about Patty Horing‘s latest solo exhibition, A Few Good Men. Hosted by Anna Zorina Gallery, the exhibition greets you with a certain warmth. As some portraiture can have an eerie and almost off-putting Mona Lisa effect, where the eyes follow you suspiciously around the room, judging every move and clocking every glance. Horing’s subjects seem to welcome you with open arms and a knowing smile in their eyes. Their body language translates as an invitation rather than posturing. A Few Good Men makes you feel at home and encourages you to stay awhile. Horing draws the viewer in and keeps them there with a captivating panache for nuances and Easter eggs.

ANTE Mag: Delight Prevails at Patty Horing’s Underdressed, Anna Zorina Gallery
Sheer visual pleasure would have been reason enough to visit Patty Horing’s new show Underdressed at Anna Zorina’s delightful new ground floor space on 24th St in Chelsea. But there was much more awaiting viewers there in these large figurative canvases and smaller drawings. Horing brings a novelist’s sensibility to these sensitive contextual portraits, allowing us to enter into a relationship with these fully formed characters: neighbors down the hall with the cat, the woman in your reading group or the happy biracial couple celebrating their new baby. Today’s Edith Wharton, armed with a brush rather than pen, Horing shows us how we live, what we care about, and who we are today with humor and psychological depth.

Your work is a beautiful snapshot of contemporary life. Tell us about your interest in figure painting and your journey as a visual artist so far.
I was an arts & crafts-obsessed kid and loved art history in college, but I didn’t start painting until relatively recently. I had a career in marketing, got a Masters degree in English literature, and became a mom to two kids before I ever picked up a paintbrush. Pretty immediately after starting painting, I found myself drawn to painting people.
