Patrick O'Boyle
Charlotte, North Carolina
Artist Patrick O'Boyle creates striking abstracts in glowing neon colors, rarely using reference material beyond his own thoughts and dreams. "I work instinctively, letting the materials and process guide me," says Patrick. He always works in series of five, revisiting and reworking each piece at the end until they feel complete. Using brushes with extra-long handles, he paints from a distance, allowing him to view the evolution of the entire composition—from a single color to a vibrant array. Primarily a studio artist, Patrick works from his light-filled space above his garage, complete with an office and seating area. Outside of painting, he is a dedicated real estate rental business owner, a passionate youth soccer coach, and a family man who treasures time with his wife and three children.

Artist Statement

I am primarily a studio painter, using very little reference material for my work. My art springs from thoughts and dreams inspired by the world around me. I apply paint with large brushes, some attached to long handles so that I can stand back and see my work as a whole. I begin each painting with one color. The artwork then unfolds organically, transforming into a vibrant tapestry of color, shape, and form, taking on a life of its own. Passages of color may emerge and recede with each layer of paint applied.

Working instinctively, I trust the materials and process to be my guides. I aim to offer viewers the space to construct their own interpretation of the imagery and the evolving process behind a finished piece.
