Born in Rochester, New York in the mid of 50's, Lou Patrou, a self-taught artist, has been steadily drawing and painting faces and figures for over 40 years. Lou's work is difficult to categorize because he doesn't always use the same artistic language, repeat the same disciplines or follow a straight direction with his work. One thing you could say is that he is obsessed with making faces and finding new ways to create designs and forms from them.
