A keen observer of his surroundings, Patrick Rodrigue has had his studio in Quebec City for the last twenty years. The downtown architecture and the lively streets stimulate him daily. His inspiration comes from public places, the roofs of the Old Quarters, skylights, backyards, trees and flowerboxes, and the ever-present city dwellers. Patrick Rodrigue’s urban landscapes are characterized by their dynamic composition in which notions of space and depth are always prevalent. The viewpoints are original, the design is definite and perspectives are clear. The refinement and luminosity of their colours are especially appreciated.
