Patrick Toby


  • Le Neuf Gallery 690 Chaussée de Waterloo 1180 Brussels Belgium (map)

This very new series of 6 works, entitled "Supernova", follows on from the first two chapters of a story of his own. 

At the beginning of 2022, Patrick Toby expressed himself through 8 artworks transcending the first moments of an unlikely encounter.

In a chiaroscuro atmosphere, an improbable meeting on Paul Deschanel Avenue... A crescendo of feelings, situations and questioning occurs throughout his compositions. The clash of impulses, the attachment, the fusion, the love, the caress, the escape, the error, the link, the shared risk, the delicate perversion, the tenderness and the heart always in the right place.

In 8 works he expresses an ideal of love with its upsets and joys. It's up to each of us to let our minds and our shivers wander.

Following this first geometric study born from the idea of an improbable encounter, intended to be "fusional" and exhibited in early 2023, Patrick Toby goes further by expressing through his new collection « 7 Pleasure Rooms" the intense extensions of fusional love.

A sensory and sensual journey, from one room to another, from one experience to another, to dare, to deviate and to intoxicate each other.

Patrick summons us or sends us back to our own secrets of love, to our tangential pleasures, ... letting us drunk and feeling our bodies sweating in these mysterious rooms.

The image of the fusional couple is found on each artwork is symbolised by an assembly of gradations of rectangles in warm and deep tones from orange to red.

And today, Supernova.

A supernova is a spectacular explosion of a star that releases enough energy to dwarf everything else in its galaxy for weeks or months before slowly fading away.

At the end…once upon a time…there was a very bad encounter that eclipsed my very soul.

I learned, I suffered, I was far away.

I'm free of it today.

With these six re-energizing artworks it’s time for rebirth, said Patrick.
