PATRICK DESHAYES

Union City, NJ

Patrick Deshayes is a self-made artist and painter, driven by passion and intuition.

Born in Le Mans (France), young Deshayes was obsessed not only by race cars, but also by art; he attended classes at the « Beaux-Arts » Art School. His professional life took him in diverse directions: business as a fashion stores owner, and IT after he received his Degree in Computer Engineering. But his passion for painting was always present. Deshayes seemingly never stopped painting, on both paper and canvas.

Although he had sold some of his paintings, he did not feel ready to embark on an exhibition yet. Then in 2006, Deshayes and his wife moved to New York. He has become familiar with the Art scene by attending the Art Student League. He has also explored museums and art galleries in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Boston. Deshayes has immersed himself fully into painting, and now considers it his profession.

Patrick’s painting is all about 'lines'. Poetry being another of his keen interests, his "line" theme was inspired by an essay about Baudelaire, comparing the writer's pen to a painter's brush.
