Artist Comments
Artist Patrick Duffy displays abstract spheres representing the cosmos. He creates a compelling dialogue between the imagination and the fundamentals of all things space. Patrick explores newly learned concepts and a unique way to visualize them through artwork and design. Within his creative techniques, shapes become symbols of time and process—guiding the eye and mind to think of dark solar windswept patterns that are balanced and engaging.
