Pat Byrne: Painting, Video, Drawing

Biography

Artist Statement

The core theme of my painting is playing with scale. This is achieved by placing locations, landscapes and scenes in, on or around oversized everyday objects creating juxtapositions that give my work a surreal nature. I tend to arrive at this point through the use of sketches, collages and photography, experimenting with images to find what works well together.

As well as the visual element this recent body of work has an underlying tone taking into account issues and occurrences of the surrounding environments and areas both, natural and through the impact of human activity.
