Born in California in 1974, Patrick Pelletier is certainly one of the most interesting and creative artists in Charleston. It is impossible to categorize him, either professionally or personally. Patrick has had a passion for art since he was only a child creating various pictures and images, but has only in the last six years begun to pursue this passion.
“Art is the translator for my mind’s eye”, Patrick explains, “memories swimming in my subconscious surface onto canvas in color and form, both literal and translucent.”
Patrick’s primary style is abstract, using an array of mediums from oils and acrylics, to pastels, watercolors and more. Noteworthy of Patrick is the evolution of his work on a daily basis influenced primarily by his surroundings in nature and his daily life. His color pallets are compelling, and sure to evoke emotion, passion and intrigue from those who meet Patrick or view his work.
More recently, Patrick's artistic ambitions found him on a journey across the West ending up eventually in San Diego for six months. While taking in the California culture and finding inspiration in teaching at the ART SHED, Patrick was offerred the opportunity to have a solo exhibition in the ART SHED in the coming year.
Recent shows for Patrick include an invitational group show, and a follow up to last years Yellow vs. Blue, entitled Black vs. White. The show was held at Robert Lange Studios, Charleston, SC (www.robertlangestudios.com) on February 5th, 2010.
