Patrick Carroll is a contemporary realist artist. He is constantly walking a fine line between the comfort of realism and the pulsating line and colour in an expressionist mode, which seeks to surprise and energise the viewer. He has developed a technique where abstraction is pushed into reality.
Born in Bathurst in 1949, Carroll has been practising as a full-time professional artist since 1974 and his work is held in numerous private and corporate collections in Australia, UK, Japan, USA, Europe and New Zealand.
Over 100 Awards and Commendations since 1965
