With backgrounds as different as their personalities, Medrano and Anderson become one in their works of art creating original one of a kind works of art. "Our process is always the same" the duo explains, "We shoot, paint and build what our individual hearts desire. Then through the shuffle of life they find their way into each others frame." Katy's beautifully soft black/white photos giving comfort and balance to Patrick's hand on soulful brush strokes and custom fit structures. A unique balance of light and darkness.
"Patrick Medrano's 3D works, paintings, and interactive devices intrigue viewers into searching within, to face a sometimes not so pleasant reality of the world around us, including ourselves. Many works also include photographs taken by collaborative partner, Katy Anderson. In the 19 years they have spent together they have produced over 500 pieces of collaborative works and shown in Paris, France and most recently in Athens, Greece. - Max Boyd Harrison - Gallery M Squared
