Patrick John Pearson

Patrick Pearson is an award-winning South Australian painter based in Aldinga Beach, South Australia. 

Patrick’s abstracts are layered and interactive, inspired by the patterns and markings on the trunks of individual trees, each an intriguing terrain to be explored. Look closely and you’ll find fragments of sensuous forms and endangered species embedded in the paint and colours. His work evokes resilience, mystery and reverence for the wild – and each canvas is a veritable ‘Where’s Wally?’ experience for its viewers.

His palette-knife-painted seascapes and landscapes are bold and invigorating, embracing thick, sculptural oils to reveal the beauty and fragility of the natural world around us. Patrick’s art reminds us that what we save and cherish, saves and cherishes us in return.
