Patrick O’Donnell

Patrick prefers to work in mono silkscreen as his method of printmaking. He feels this is more akin to painting and allows him the freedom to constantly play with composition.

The constants within each series are colours and the stencilled shapes or forms he uses. These play with his interest in the perception of space and peripheral vision – the edges, boundaries and opacities of colour, and the effects when they layer, meet, merge or dissolve. 

Working in a reductive and non-figurative manner offers him the freedom to filter a variety of inspirations, ideas and experience through exploring the relationships of simple formal elements.
