Biography
Born in 1949 in the West Midlands, Patrick’s education in the arts took him from Shrewsbury and Cheltenham, then from Birmingham down to London and Canterbury, pursuing Fine Art degrees and post graduate studies in a number of subjects, before settling in Chatham, Kent, where he has lived, worked and raised a family.
From 1974 onwards, Patrick has been involved in the field of Art & Design eduction, sharing his expertise and passion for the arts in colleges, universities, adult education and schools. During this time he has always made the emotional, physical and intellectual time to paint and create art.
Whilst he has worked in a wide range of media over the years, Patrick has always been drawn back to painting, with a particular love of acrylics. Whilst his style has changed and developed over time, his consistent and masterful use of colour and layering makes his paintings instantly recognisable and highly desirable, with his work being exhibited widely in the UK and in collections across Europe, America, Asia and Australia.
Patrick will be showing a selection of works that he has been working on most recently. Creating them has helped him to realise and clarify that the viewer, through contemplation of a work, will find out far more about themselves than they will ever find out about the model. And that’s how it should be.
The relationship between the title and the work is very important. From ‘description’ to ‘humour’ they cast a mould that brings enlightenment to your relationship with the painting.
Of the greatest importance is that you enjoy these works.
