The artist creates pared-down tableaux made up of drawings, adapted found imagery and objects, as well as sound and live performance often arranged around sculptural constructions. Resurrecting material that contains a particular potency for him, Patane is drawn to ideas of tribalism, urban mythology and altered states. Through a process of filtering and simple interventions - masking eyes, obliterating faces with an excess of sticky biro ink - Patane bleeds images of specificity leaving a residue of menace.
