Artists Talk With LVA: September 22, 2022

Why is Patrick Donley in a hole? Find out when he talks about his 1st show in 5 years: Groundhog Archeology, opening soon at garner narrative contemporary fine art. Tune in to WXOX 97.1 FM/Artxfm.com each Thursday at 10 am to hear Artists Talk with LVA.

Patrick Donley is a sculptor, musician, and "whim-sologist".  He made his reputation through colorful, collage-laden, abstract paintings. In the late 90's, he took a break from visual art to perform and record with the band Jakeleg.  After that he switched gears, and began producing wall-mounted, found-object sculptures.  His last body of work, The Memento Series, represented an attempt to marry his love of paint with his vast, obsessive collection of found objects and photos.  That melding of two and three dimensions, emblematic of a need to create order out of chaos is further discovered in his latest project.
