Our friend (my cousin) Mauricio Patarroyo, aka Mau aka Mo Patas, has slowly built a series of painting that have truly stood out on their own, making his mark as one of Richmond’s outstanding portrait artists. With his signiture characature style he’s done a range of friends, celebs, and even a panda, keeping consistent with his attentive linework and canvas size. Given an illustrous simplicity, the images tell an open ended story through the characters with a minimal pallete, leaving much for the viewer to reconsider as they admire it on a friends wall. Love you cuz, keep up the good work. Check out more work at his website and if in Richmond, swing by his opening at Steady Sounds on First Friday in December. via TheBlaaahg
