Patrick Skals is a working artist residing in his hometown of Toronto, Canada. In 2019, after 10 years employed in the corporate rat race, he decided to make a major career shift in pursuit of his artistic ambitions.Operating on the ethos of cerebral disruption, Patrick’s body of work titled In Other Words delivers a distinctive style that truly speaks volumes.Patrick’s paintings fuse abstraction & commentary, intended to have one rethink social norms and reframe common perspectives. By tackling psychocultural topics the audience is encouraged to confront the subjects applying life experience - and hopefully awaken subconscious drivers.Authenticity is at the heart of each painting, feeling as impulsive as they do calculated. The viewer is invited to fee the vulnerability of a person battling himself in a rapidly changing environment. Patrick’s work does not speak to segments of the population, it speaks to a shared human condition.
