Canadian artist Patrick Thompson's installations of painting, wall drawings, printmaking and sculpture, are investigations of the idea of information; explored through mass media, architecture, history and the dynamics of culture, defined equally by their range and their lyrical visual language. ==Life and work== Highly esteemed for pushing the boundaries of street art, he has painted outdoors under the pseudonym Evoke throughout North and Central America, Europe, and Asia. Thompson is often placed into the "Canadian School" of street artists including Other, Labrona, and Thesis Sahib, a group known for their inspired improvisations and openness towards freeform mark making. Thompson's own creative process develops through a self-coined process he refers to as "mistakism", whereby the artist allows a memory, feeling, sentence, or some other bite of information to spark the beginning of a particular work. Imagery follows, inspired by the 'in-between' places found throughout the Canadian landscape, converging into dreamlike scenes. This union creates a pictorial space where imaginary characters, forms and marks can interact in a place that is whimsical as well as charged. In 2007, Thompson created "Ishtar Gate" in collaboration with artists Derek Mehaffey and Juan Carlos Noria for; (BAC! ) 07 International Festival of Contemporary Art in Barcelona; Edition VIII. His work has been shown in numerous exhibitions worldwide including; The Royal Ontario Museum; (Institute for Contemporary Culture ) in Toronto, Luminato, the Singapore Contemporary Arts Museum, Desert Generation at Artist House Gallery in Jerusalem, Lombardi Gallery in Austin Texas and (INOPERABLE ) Gallery in Vienna, Austria. Wall painting installation work includes Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada, (Quest University ) in Squamish, British Columbia, Canada, (SAW ) Gallery in Ottawa, Canada and Hualien, Taiwan. Patrick is the co-founder of the Embassy of Imagination, a mobile art school that uses visual art as a tool for empowerment, connecting remote First Nations communities with new ideas in visual art.
