Artist Bio
Patricia Fahy is best known for her vibrant figurative paintings. She brings a feminine and striking combination of stripped back compositional form and a modern day palette. Her skill as a portrait artist and colourist, combined with her contemporary approach, produce works that are pop fresh yet classically referenced. She works with acrylic or oil on canvas and likes to use gold, silver and bright colours in her works.
Patricia is greatly influenced and inspired by the figurative painters of the 14th and 15th centuries especially El Greco. Other artistic influences are The Scottish Colourists, John SInger Sargeant, Walter Osborne, John Lavery, Edward Hopper, David Hockney, Henry Scott Tuke and Ethel Carrick.
Most recently, Tricia's painting 'Lockdown Buddies' was selected for the London Art Biennale in Chelsea, London.
