About the Item

Artist Comments
Acrobats and circus performers with their lively gestures and colorful outfits fascinate artist Patrick O’Boyle. Through simple shapes, this painting depicts an abstract rendition of the view above the circus. Colors glow off each other while collage elements create texture within the piece.


About the Artist
Artist Patrick O'Boyle creates striking abstracts in glowing neon colors, rarely using reference material beyond his own thoughts and dreams. "I work instinctively, letting the materials and process guide me," says Patrick. He always works in series of five, revisiting and reworking each piece at the end until they feel complete. Using brushes with extra-long handles, he paints from a distance, allowing him to view the evolution of the entire composition—from a single color to a vibrant array. Primarily a studio artist, Patrick works from his light-filled space above his garage, complete with an office and seating area. Outside of painting, he is a dedicated real estate rental business owner, a passionate youth soccer coach, and a family man who treasures time with his wife and three children.

Landscape Abstraction Collage, Abstract Painting
By Patrick O'Boyle
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Artist Patrick O'Boyle exhibits an abstract landscape using a vivid palette. "This painting is purely an abstract reference to places I have sketched on location," says Patrick. He paints with an acrylic wash establishing shapes, color & texture placement. Using collaged material creates interest and draws the viewer closer to the piece.


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.
