Lives and works in New York

Grear Patterson’s work celebrates naivety. Large-­scale paintings created from a variety of found material – including parachutes, boat sails, wedding tablecloths and vinyl – and smaller-­scale block colour paper works in purples, pinks, blues, oranges and greens, become a memorialisation of youthful possibility, odyssey and adventure. Recurrent themes within his work are pop-­culture, imagery and processes of perception.
