Patrick Williams

Patrick Williams began his professional career after graduating from Art Center College of Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration Design, as the youngest member in his class with honors.

Patrick's work is a combination of cartoons and realism, using two stylistic approaches, fundamentally opposed, allows for a deeper conversation between the viewer and the artist. There is a cast of characters that perform in these paintings. Being iconic yet completely general. Through subtle manipulations, the characters become distorted to mirror internal conflict, landscapes change from one painting to the next yet they all manage to stay firmly rooted within the same world, the same characters, just a different chapter in the mythology of suburbia.

Starting in L.A. and O.C. then branching out into the rest of the United States, Patrick has shown his paintings and found an overwhelmingly positive response from those that live within the suburbanite culture and those who identify with the themes and ideas represented in his work. Patrick’s audience is appreciative of the fact that the modern suburban landscape is that of a warped nature, and the resulting social structures are equally warped.

These paintings don’t need to reflect a specific explanation or a title but have items that relate to many storylines and possibilities within a wide range of people.
