Lives and works in Kill Devil Hills, NC.

Patrick Berran’s work plays upon the transformation of visual material through processes of painting, printing and transfer. His paintings vibrate with a sense of controlled chaos: static held in the confines of careful construction. Pulled from sketches or photocopy-collage, Berran builds up the surface of his densely concentrated compositions. The result yields the potential of process to re-inscribe visual data as both dynamic and unwieldy, records of infinite flux.
