Patrick Beaudin
Artistic approach
Patrick Beaudin’s art is reminiscent of the Western European tradition of graffiti, where the image is made by collage or by stencil for swift execution they allow. The same urgency to create lives in the artist. Far from the wild and militant position, Patrick Beaudin’s work wins in poetry and in graphic quality with colored and congenial subjects.
A multi-faceted artist, he uses a palette knife, brushes and even his fingers, so pressing is his urge to create. The thick stroke of oil pastel underlines his gestural approach. The use of collage allows the artist to organize the space of the canvas by creating superimposed planes and to use the text as a pictorial motif.
Inspired at once by nature and by current art, Patrick Beaudin’s is decidedly contemporary, with a touch of humour…
