Patrick Esmao’s artistry and craftsmanship continue to push the limits. Well-known for his towering four-foot canvases comprised of acrylic and metallic thread, the artist brings forth illustrations anew for his latest show at Galerie Joaquin Online.

His latest oeuvre crosses between parallels of movement and constraint. While the pigments are confined inside the four walls of an object, Esmao also tries to depict motion and natural force. “I also tried to create movement on an otherwise static image,” the artist mentions. This concept is seen in pieces such as “Divergent Proportions” and “Descending Angle”, conceptually captured as if the objects are falling due to natural force.

Show runs May 30 – June 20, 2023
