Ben Boothby – Architectural memories

By Patternbank On October 8, 2012 · In Inspiration

Architectural depth and texture are a bold trend through Ben Boothby’s portfolio of paintings, ‘They are mnemonic structures; holding a multitude of conflicting emotions from that space. Through this study of the architectural nature of my memories, I am creating visualizations of the way memories exist in all of our minds.’ Patternbank love’s the combination of geometric, architectural lines, contrasted with the energy and movement created in his painting. Boothby is currently exhibiting in Jeffery Leder Gallery, Long Island City, NY until Nov 3rd.

Clint Fulkerson – Hand Drawn Geometric Abstraction

By Patternbank On October 8, 2012 · In Inspiration

Clint Fulkerson’s artwork features complex patterns and forms made by an accumulation of hand drawn marks. Each new mark is applied in response to the previous one and so on. For each piece he sets up a starting condition and devises a set of rules, which are much like algorithms, that limit what and how forms develop.

Tosha Albor – Primordial Expression

By Patternbank On October 7, 2012 · In Inspiration

These amazingly powerful, experimental drawings and paintings are the creations of Tosha Albor. Tosha is a visual artist born in Manila and currently based in San Francisco. She completed a BTEC in Fine Art at the University for the Creative Arts in Canterbury, UK. In her work she embrasses the act of construction and deconstruction, with the addition of mark-making and free flowing narratives being another important factor driving her paintings.

Federico Cortese – Codes – Imaginary Maps of Nonexistent Cities

By Patternbank On October 1, 2012 · In Inspiration

When is a map not a map?, when it is created by Federico Cortese. He explains “In these drawings, the invention of the map of a city is only a pretext. Gradually, by changing the shapes, colors and the hierarchy of associations between the various elements I explore the possibilities of changing this language increasingly moving away from its original meaning.” Find more of Frederico’s excellent work on Behance.
