Rotterdam Relief

2005
Paterson, Toby
Acknowledging influences as diverse as the work of British modernist artists Ben Nicholson and Victor Pasmore, as well as his own skateboarding experiences, Toby Patterson's work explores the urban environment. In his large-scale wall paintings, sculptural assemblages and small paintings on Perspex, he reinterprets the lines and forms of modernist architecture. As he says, he is interested in "what cultural, practical and economical situation has made that place exist". Rotterdam Relief like his other work of the time, emerged from his research into the redevelopment of cities which suffered extreme damage during the Second World War.
