Welcome to a new series: What's Your Art? My friend Patrick makes a living as a human statue street performer in Seattle. I've known him for a good number of years now and when I first heard about this new endeavor of his, it made so much sense. He does a killer job being a living statue. He rocks his art! Watch the video below by Kaylyn Messer for a more in depth portrait of Patrick.
What's your art? Do you do something in life that will fascinate the masses or that you feel needs to be shared? Do you create, have a cool studio, or have a job that makes the world a better place? If you live in LA, San Francisco, or anywhere in between, liked to be photographed and want to share your art, email me at iartu.jennifer(at)gmail(dot)com with what you do and where you're located. All submissions will be reviewed and you will receive a response if fitting for I ART U.
Who's up next?
this is very cool! i am looking forward to more from this series!
ReplyDeletelove! i have yet to meet patrick, though. i'm in that area every early morning on my way to work, but i think that's too early for him to come out. :-)

ReplyDeletewhat a great series you are planning! unfortunately I do not live in California, nor am I an artist or have a studio. Too bad, I would love to be part of your project :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I look forward to see more!!
That is so interesting! It's really cool to get a little glimpse at his life, you never really see or hear much about the people who perform as living statues. I love his costume and his makeup is outstanding. The photos are wonderful, of course. This sounds like a great idea for a series!
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite kind of street performance art. I always wondered how do they take off all that paint :P
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about this series J! I know I will love it. This is incredible.

ReplyDeleteThe stamina of these statue performers always amazes me. They are able to be so still for so long, and sometimes in such hot or cold weather - it's amazing!
ReplyDeletethis is wonderful- what a neat introspective, love it!
ReplyDeleteYay! I like this post! I have never seen patrick doing this in person and I love the photos!
ReplyDeleteamazing! i've always admired human statue street performers. it's such hard work, and for them to stay still in one position for a long period of time is remarkable.
