"It’s probably safe to say Patrick Corrigan went through a surrealist phase. The thin vines and empty horizons that are his trademark evoke a folkier Joan Miró, and even his clearest, most literal images contain the unmediated symbols of a healthy subconscious delving. Experimental and imaginative though it may be, Corrigan’s work just doesn’t have a surrealist’s defiant psychological splatter. Which is to say, he’s done his research."
