Brendan Fitzpatrick

Brendan Fitzpatrick: "In this terrifying world, all that matters are the connections we make. I am inspired by the people that I have the privilege of meeting and honour those bonds in paint. By working as much as possible from direct observation I have a front row seat to the conversations both real and imagined with my figurative subjects. Paint allows me to direct the scene as I see fit, by warping our perceived reality, by using brushstrokes to lend strength, or by the subtle glow of a pigmented patina only layers of glazing can provide. Organic human-made craft and context are vital to me, society is built on top of it. It is all too easy to become numb to the millions of individuals around us and so I paint the tensions that I observe, marrying my training in painting with ever-unprecedented times, akin to the order and the chaos of Hong Kong"
