Michael Patten - local artist.
Came into the shop to ask about exhibiting his artwork.
I had a look through some of his pieces on his phone but I couldn't get the full impression of his work - I suggested that he should send me some images of his work through email so I could view them properly and see which pieces were saleable and would appeal to customers.
The work I looked at seemed quite graphic-design like with bright colours and bold lines. I think most of them were pieces relating to rock stars, media and band logos. This could be interesting as it might work in a commercial sense, however it might appear same-y and not very appealing to people wanting to buy art for their homes. Although it may work for the younger audiences.
It is something I will have to consider when looking at his work - I feel that his work will come into the next exhibition rather than the upcoming one in August as I am already overloaded with artists at present.
He said that some of his work is framed which is important for display so those pieces will probably be more likely to sell than the others.
