Not to be confused with the amazing lighting designer of the same name, Patrick James Woodroffe is an English artist, etcher and drawer, who specialises in fantasy science-fiction artwork, with images that border on the surreal. His achievements include several collaborations with well-known musicians, two bronze sculptures displayed in Switzerland and numerous books.
“I feel at home in my own imagery,” he says. “I live in a world of my own, a planet with portraits and landscapes far too pretty to be called ‘modern art’.
“My ‘Text & Images’, which come just from my memories and my imagination, are nearly always limited to optimism. Tragic stories and ugly imagery never make me happy.”
His web site is here: www.patrickwoodroffe-world.com. “My website is here for good purposes – to keep in touch with friendly contacts, to meet up with new ones, especially with collaborators and sponsors for my ambitious projects. If this applies to you, then contact me by e-mail.”
