Patrck Gibbs is a London-based artist who has made a living from exhibiting his paintings for the past 30 years. having visited over 80 countries, he draws his inspiration from the daily lives of people in other cultures.

The image seen here, shows a painting of the ancient tanneries in Fez, Morocco. The tanneries are a huge construction of large vats filled with brightly-coloured dyes, like an enormous artist's palette. Their vivid colours and the strong light contrast in the winter sun provided the perfect subject-matter for Patrick. the industrious tanners were happy for him to meander between them with his sketchbook. this led to a series of striking and powerful paintings, which can be seen in his forthcoming exhibition at the Mall Galleries. The show also includes works from many other destinations including Brazil, Burma, Cuba, India, Mozambique, Sri Lanka and Zanzibar.

Patrick studied Fine Art at Oxford University, the Ruskin School of Fine Art and Drawing and Goldsmith's College, London University. Whilst his works are figurative and contain areas of sharp detail, they also display strong abstract qualities. He uses bright, vibrant colours and paints with a combination of brushes and palette knives. Each painting demonstrates the joy he finds in observing simple everyday life.
