Patrick Espy completed his degrees in Fine Arts and Architecture at Auburn University in 1997. Since then, he has become a respected and prolific painter and architect. His art has been in galleries, shows, publications and collections from the gulf coast to the west coast. His architecture has ranged from the CNN Newsroom to the University of Pittsburgh Arena.
Frank Stella has described Patrick's art as "very sophisticated".
Patrick served as "Artists' Representative" for an important temporary art installation over the Arkansas River, Colorado with the world famous artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude. The project installation is currently scheduled for two weeks during the summer of 2012.
Painting in its most meaningful role is a search for sublime truths. Emotional truths that cause deep feelings of wonder or joy, angst or fear, love or anger and the infinite combinations of emotions. Intellectual truths that cause even minor shifts in the paradigm of the viewer. The painter can be a channel that transfers power and meaning from the mysterious unknown places to human consciousness through these emotional states. The world that we live in satisfies all the curiosity that most people have with fairly shallow and temporary distractions. I find the most satisfaction in Art when I am able to say something in a piece that is profound and is comprehended by just one viewer. Those are the times that I consider the work successful.
