Patterson Parkin

Canterbury artist | Painting

Patterson was born in London. He attended the Warwick School of Art where he received his formative training in the study of art, specialising in drawing and painting. Patterson continued to explore the variations of factionalism. In 1964 he was the winner of the prestigious MacKenty Award for Fine Arts in London.

Currently living in Canterbury, his work explores a vast range of subjects, from the land, to portraiture, and abstraction. His new work focuses upon musicians, and the way in which music and colour evoke an emotional response. If music is an art form that touches the human spirit through the intangible dynamics of sound, the abstraction of colour and form can create a similar response..

The combination of abstract and figurative in his work integrate elements of Cubism. Kandinsky and Naturalism.
