Patrick Alston (b. 1991 in New York) energetically creates works that, along with the interplay of titles, trigger thought-provoking and reflective topics including but not limited to socio-politics, identity, language, and the psychology of colour. Alston’s re-contextualised subjects, rich palettes and complex compositions are dramatised exhilarating energies, expressed through gestural mark making that help to project an unwritten aesthetic that makes up the urban landscape.
