Patrick Francis

Patrick is an artist who enjoys challenging himself. Defying simple description, he works across various media, incorporating music, dance, printmaking and photography into his routine while selecting acrylic on paper as his chief preference for painting where he has earned a great reputation. His diverse paintings reflect his thought processes which can be quite enigmatic sometimes yet unusual in its forthrightness and clarity of expression at other times. These attributes cut straight through to the viewer’s heart and directly engage their compassionate and empathetic responses. There is honesty in his work which pays homage to famous painters like Raphael, Goya, Vermeer and others he strives to emulate.
