Scott Richards Contemporary Art are holding a solo exhibition of Patrick's recent paintings Superspectivision. 

Steven Berkoff approached Patrick to design the original stage set for his stage production of On The Waterfront. The play opened at the Nottingham Playhouse. Following excellent reviews we are hoping for the show to move to the West End.

New Developments
After years of development to attain the perfect geometry in his Reverspective shapes, Patrick has embarked on a new venture.

The so-called ‘cut-ins’, used in earlier works to create a new dimension, have taken on a life of their own!
Patrick is developing these as stand-alone works.
Until now, reverspectives have depended on an horizon to delude the viewer’s eye into the illusion of movement. The new cut-in shapes work on both the horizontal and vertical planes. This allows for more compact and often portrait format shapes, much smaller pieces. Since the cut-in Brillo boxes are a little like caves, they are harder to light, but provide small bits of illusionary space to move around in our minds as our bodies move in front of them.
