Keith Patterson was a leading contemporary painter in NZ during the 1950’s, who moved to Spain in 1960. He became a well-known artist and teacher there, winning many art awards. He returned to New Zealand briefly in 1989 and 1990/1991 where he completed a major series of assemblage and mixed media works.

Patterson’s work gradually became more abstract during the 1960’s. He also painted a significant series of cubist window studies in 1959 and 1960 and several of these were included in a major exhibition of Contemporary NZ Artists at the Auckland City Gallery in 1960. During the 1950’s this style was experimental for leading New Zealand modernists such as Colin McCahon, Dame Louise Henderson, Kase Jackson and Keith Patterson.

Exploring and experimenting with mixed media following his departure to Spain in 1960, Patterson eventually produced quite outstanding assemblage work which incorporated found objects such as dinghy oars, sea shells, old fishing nets and demolition timber. Patterson’s return in 1990 after a long absence from NZ (29 years) instilled a new found fervour in his work which revitalized his career in NZ. Converting an old fruit packing shed in Oratia, Auckland, to a studio Patterson worked tirelessly producing a major series of assemblage works and Mixed Media on paper. Patterson was a master of mixed media and his later works often incorporated materials which added a three dimensional aspect such as paper, card, twine and other found objects.
