Hey... The New issue of "New Times", Broward- Palm Beach came out today and there was a write-up on my recent Art Show----
"Art Beat"- "The dark, tattoo- and graffiti- influenced work of art student Patrick Maxcy covers the walls of the hallway leading to Florida Atlantic University's Schmidt Gallery. It's an interestingly intimate segue from the expansive surrounding campus to the almost bare gallery. Maxcy's approach differs from the usual paintings hanging on white walls, as he uses all the space offered to him by applying complementary, mixed-media images directly to the typically blank space beneath his mounted works. This encourages passersby to slow down and absourb some of his art, ranging from sci-fi creatures to reaslist portraits." -Alexia Davis
