Patrick Wilson is a Los Angeles resident with a penchant for the kind of beauty you can't find in a sunset or a tree. He paints geometric shapes, mostly squares and rectangles and layers them densely on top one another. It's too polished to be your typical hard edge abstract paintings, and has too much going on to recall the finish fetish movement of the 1960's.
