Patrick Ollerton

I'm relatively new to the art world, having only started painting seriously in the last few years. I'm based in Manchester, England, and work primarily in oil, with different styles depending on subject and mood. My inspiration stems from the urban environment in which I live, with it's rich industrial heritage and grand architecture. Manchester also experiences dramatic weather, offering the artist ample opportunities for capturing interesting lighting conditions. I also enjoy still life work and this is where my passion for abstract art is explored. I'm fascinated by three-dimensional geometry and deconstruction of simple forms, especially consumer products familiar to everyone.
