London.- W. H. Patterson, a leading London Gallery will exhibit for the first time this year at Art Chicago from April 29th to May 2nd 2011.  The gallery will predominately be exhibiting one of their star artists Paul S. Brown, a classical realist originally from the US who has a foot firmly planted on each side of the Atlantic, championing the cultural heritage of both countries in his art work. Paul S. Brown has been exhibiting with W. H Patterson for over a decade, and his works are priced to suit both the collector and first time buyer, ranging from £1,500 to £49,500.  Known for his ability to capture life in exquisite detail, and having studied at the Florence Academy of Art which is renowned for training artists in Classical Realism, Paul remains today one of the Academy’s and indeed the genre’s greatest legacies. Among the paintings to be exhibited are the iconic American image "Baseball Glove", and "Doughnuts", in the classic American ring style, thought to have been brought over to the US by Dutch Settlors in the early 19th Century, and now a firm favourite with the American public.

Paul S. Brown was born August 11, 1967 in the U.S. and currently resides in Battersea, London. Apprenticed to D. Jeffrey Mims, Brown assisted in the execution of five murals, four of which decorate the nursing school at Samford University in Birmingham, AL, and one at St. David's Episcopal Church in Baltimore, MD. In October 1990, he accepted a teaching position at the Florence Academy of Art in Florence, Italy, and whilst living in Italy, he won an award at the 2nd Concorso AICS Falco-Cerevolo Exhibition held in Santa Maria del Carmine Church, the sight of the well known Brancacci Chapel in Florence, Italy. Paul Brown prepares most of his art materials by hand using only the finest linens for his canvasses and preparing boards for his panel paintings. He uses mediums taken from proven old master recipes and makes his own paints. Careful selection of the finest pigments and a thorough grinding into cold-pressed linseed oil ensures the finest colours are used in his pictures.




Established in 1964, the W. H. Patterson gallery has been at 19 Albemarle Street since that date. Originally specialising in 19th Century English and Continental paintings, over the past fifteen years the gallery has increasingly been exhibiting leading British and European contemporary artists. Annual exhibitions include 'Venice in Peril' and solo exhibitions by Pieter Wagemans and Willem Dolphyn. Other artists represented by the gallery include, Lionel Aggett, Paul S. Brown, Michael Felmingham, Clive McCartney, Stella Shawzin, Peter Symonds, Martin Taylor, Barbara Vanhove and Robert E. Wells amongst others. W. H. Patterson recently expanded to open a gallery in Cambridge. W. H. Patterson Cambridge features bi-monthly fine art exhibitions showcasing work by leading traditional and contemporary artists. On request, experts also offer valuations and have on hand a specialist restoration and framing studio. Patterson's schedule of exhibitions for 2011 has many highlights and includes a special anniversary, the 25th annual exhibition of works by Willem Dolphyn. They also have a range of solo exhibitions including marine paintings by Ronny Moortgat (closed 1st April), Michael Felmingham will take visitors on an Italian journey and Peter Symonds stunning landscapes will show beauty closer to home from interesting corners of the British Isles.
