Adrien Patout is an artist currently living and working in Paris. His work is heavily influenced by the fleshy paintings of Philippe Pasqua and Jenny Saville, with Patout choosing himself to focus on the human body and people's relationship to it, such as with piercings, tattoos, cosmetic surgery, etc. The self-taught painter explores how the body, as a medium, bridges the gap between our inner feelings and the outside world.
