Patrick Deshayes is a self-made artist and
painter, driven by passion and intuition. Born in Le Mans
(France), young Patrick was obsessed not only by race cars, but
also by art; he attended classes at the « Beaux-Arts » Art
School. His professional life took him in diverse directions:
business as a fashion stores owner, and IT after he received his
Degree in Computer Engineering. But his passion for painting was
always present. Patrick seemingly never stopped painting, on
both paper and canvas. Over the years, he has built an
impressive collection of art books devoted to modern painting.
His favorite artist is Dubuffet. Every trip is an occasion to
enrich his collection of art books; if you ever were to look for
Patrick in an unknown city, you could probably find him in the
local Museum of Modern Art, more specifically at the book store!
Although he had sold some of his paintings, he did not feel
ready to embark on an exhibition yet. Then in 2006, Patrick
moved to New York with his wife. He has become familiar with the
Art scene by attending the Art Student League. He has also
explored museums and art galleries in New York, Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Miami, San Diego and Boston. Patrick has immersed himself fully into
painting, and now considers it his profession. |
