About the Item
Artist Comments
This painting was inspired by various aerial photographs of major cities in the US. Buildings, bodies of water and land have all been replaced with color, line and shape. The painted surface has been scraped and color has been pushed to reveal lines and texture.
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.
