Lou Patrou

Lou Patrou has been drawing and painting faces and figures since the 1960s. Patrou's work is some times difficult to categorize because he doesn't always use the same artistic language, repeat the same disciplines or follow a straight direction with his work. The only definitive thing you could say is that he is obsessed with making faces and finding new ways to create designs and forms out of them.

Lou has exhibited his work in galleries in New York City, San Diego, Los Angeles, upstate New York, New Orleans and London. His mix of whimsical & Pop, pattern and puzzle, surrealistic images are finding their way onto various products. Over the years he began selling large mural prints of his work on various substrates as installation pieces. He exhibits his original work in galleries and also produces unique edition prints. In addition, in the last few years, Lou has been very involved in product development and licensing, and has been incorporating his work into product design.

Lou participated in the Cartoon Network's 20th Anniversary Show for ComicCon 2012 in San Diego. His painting for the show is featured in the limited hard cover book published exclusively for Turner Entertainment. Lou's Pop Surreal and pattern paintings...
