This man, Patrick Thomas is quite a distinctive artist. His style in terms of media and objects could in some instances be mistaken as more of the same. Yet the clear cut use of objects and imagery to comment on various elements in society give this man an edge in comparison to those who print for the basic aesthetic results. The familiarity and misplaced insult that it is more of the same is perhaps the familiarity of the components used in his creations. The iconic, stockpiled, recognisable, clear cut images are used to create a well defined and accessible point. The composition is admirable. Man with skills and a message. There is something about screen printing which makes me wish I would take the time to convert some of my own work into this medium. The general look, the method, skill and of course, end results, the unique touch or misprint to each creation. I would be lost for days. Very keen.
