ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Artist Virginia Paquette created the energetic diptych Centro-Mozione/Core-Motion as part of a series of large-scale pastel drawings that explore line, color and movement. This piece interprets and manipulates shapes and spatial relationships referenced from classical architecture and simple geometric forms.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Kent School District.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
The late Seattle-based artist Virginia Paquette created paintings and conceptual public art installations. She stated that the primary urge in her work is "to make marks, images, symbols that will communicate to you a message, feeling, visual stimuli that may be pleasing or thought-provoking."
Paquette received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1976 and a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1978, both in painting, from the University of Washington in Seattle.
