For seven years he had wanted
to merge his occasional
dalliances with Photoshop to
better plan his paintings.
Patrick toyed with
photocollaged cards that he
gave to his close friends and
family. This interest was
brought to fruition in making
mock ups for his first Mis En

"From Horses to Myths"
A NEW exhibition for Hunters Hill artist Patrick Hromas finds inspiration in the ancient and modern world.
The Piebald Horse, opening at a Glebe Point Rd cafe gallery on March 16, shows Hromas to be an artist with a wide canvas given his ability to draw on topics as seemingly diverse as horses, Greek mythology and September 11.
"The piebald horse represents that which is beyond our ability to understand yet not outside the spheres of passion," he said.
"The figure stares out of the drawing Social Distance and commemorates the fallen innocents of September 11."
Since growing up at Hunters Hill and attending the Australian National University, the powerful creative imagination of Hromas has fuelled his part in 21 group exhibitions in Sydney and Canberra.
These include the Lloyd Rees Memorial Youth Art Exhibition as well as the SFNSW Art Show at the Delmar Art Gallery where Hromas won first prize.
The young artist was also a participant of a university exchange program travelling to Paris in 1995.
He is currently represented in the collection of the Museum of Ancient Cultures, Macquarie University.
Hromas said the artworks in his latest exhibition were from his three bodies of works in the Equine Behaviour Series comprising large drawings about equine behaviour and Greek mythology.
"This series was initially inspired by French surrealist Marcel Duchamp's masterpiece The Large Glass and also recalls experiences, both real and imagined, I had while visiting Nimes in France," he said.
"Also on display are small, framed drawings that serve as studies for each series."
Hromas said the exhibition was dedicated to his grandmother who was born before Duchamp rose to fame.
