Charleston, South Carolina- based artist Patch Whisky is known for the funky, colorful, cartoon-like monsters he creates, whether on a canvas, a wall or even in 3-D form, such as toys or Christmas ornaments. For the artist’s most recent trip to Lexington to create art for PRHBTN, he decked out a large wall on Southland Drive with a couple of his signature creatures, providing a blast of color and whimsy to the site, which is on the side of an as-yet-unannounced restaurant.
This is actually Patch Whisky’s third trip to Lexington to create a mural for PRHBTN. His first mural was behind the Loudoun House on a wall initially intended to exhibit successive murals and was painted over the following year. The organization then brought the artist back to paint a mural on the Loudon Avenue building that was home at the time to the music venue Cosmic Charlie’s; that mural was painted over once new tenants moved in.
The untitled mural on Southland Drive by Patch Whisky was created in October 2021 for the 10th annual PRHBTN street art festival. Click here to read more about the event.
