The Artful Dodgers Studios has young artist Patrick Francis featuring a new exhibition at Little Woods Gallery - May 7-29, 2014.
Patrick is a Melbourne-based artist who has been working as a participant at Artful Dodgers Studios in the both the music and art studios, and has been working at Arts Project Australia since 2009. He has won the prestigious Art and Australia Contemporary Art Award in 2012 and has been shown in exhibitions nationally.
Most recently his work has featured in the Melbourne Now exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria, and he has even been invited to show as part of Australia's premiere art event – the 2014 Sydney Biennale.
What makes this all the more impressive is that Patrick has autism, and uses painting as a way to communicate his observations of the world around him.
Little Woods Curator Amy-Jo Jory admitted she was a big fan of the artist.
She said "Patrick Francis' works are vivid depictions of portraiture and still life.
"Compelled by famous and infamous historical and celebrity icons, Francis paints a variety of subjects. On the walls of Little Woods you will find a vortex filled with Nicki Minaj, Kylie Minogue, Blondie, Robbie Williams and Madonna, all wide eyed and often with gaping mouths. There is also a pretty excellent variety of cats on display.
