Lou Patrou, a self-taught artist from the greater New York City area, has been steadily
drawing and painting faces and figures for well over 40 years.

Patrou's work is difficult to categorize right away, because he doesn't always use the same artistic language, repeat the same disciplines,
color schemes or follow a straight predictable direction with his work. One thing you could say is that he is obsessed with making faces and
finding new ways to create designs and forms out of them. He prefers to jump around between several styles and techniques. His work can go
from tight graphic pop art, softly rendered whimsical and kitschy pieces to forms and shapes suggesting patterns, to visceral narratives. The
work has scaled up in size over the years, and as a body of work is constantly "mixing it up".
