patrick christie ink. exhibitions

australian artist patrick christie
made his sydney debut at becker minty in potts point
with an exhibition of his original pen and ink drawings
featuring blue willow china, australian natives and still lifes

the extraordinary detail in christie's exquisite work flourished
alongside the striking treasures one expects to find
in the preeminent becker minty lifestyle emporium

"With an abundance in the rendering of their subject matter both produce
an uplifting cornucopia - vase, flowers, fruit and material overflowing;
feathers of the black cockatoo repeating and blending into the gum leaves
behind. The hand marks the page again and again forming exquisite line.

"There is real talent here. For an artist what needs to be there from the start is
passion, a good eye and the talent to develop a personal language that is
vibrant, interesting and unique - that can be nurtured and developed over
many years. This exhibition sets Patrick Christie squarely on this path."
