Artist Comments
"I've always been fascinated by what people see in my paintings," says artist Patrick O'Boyle. Through collage techniques and expressive paintwork, he demonstrates an abstract depiction of a colorful city. Patrick paints an engaging entry to his series of abstractions that hide recognizable subject matter in plain sight, encouraging the viewer to explore. The work retains its entertaining narrative throughout the experimentally suggestive concept.
About the Artist
Patrick O'Boyle primarily paints in a studio, rarely using reference material other than his own thoughts and dreams. He always paints in a series of five - at the end of the fifth painting he revisits and reworks all of them until he feels they're complete. Using extra-long handles on his brushes, Patrick paints at a distance from the canvas so he can see the works evolve as a whole from the one color he starts with to the vibrant array at the end.
