Charlie Oscar Patterson (b. 1991) is a British artist based in Kent whose practice merges painting and sculpture through vibrant color, geometric form, and dimensional construction. Drawing upon the history of modernist abstraction and minimalism, Patterson creates carefully structured relief paintings that extend beyond the traditional flat surface. His background in graphic design, including a first-class honors degree from Chelsea College of Art and Design, informs his precise, grid-based approach to composition. Working primarily with oil and acrylic on shaped canvas, he uses curved planes, layered forms, and rich tonal transitions to produce a compelling sense of depth, rhythm, and movement. Patterson’s practice ranges from intimate sculptural wall works to large-scale murals, continually exploring the relationship between color, architecture, and the surrounding space. Balancing disciplined construction with a playful sensitivity to color and form, his works invite viewers to experience painting as both an image and a physical object.
