Patrick Woodroffe - The forget-me-not gardener From the 17th of September until the 30th of October 2005 Patrick James Woodroffe is an artist with a vivacious fantasy and an impromptu hand. There will be exhibition of his original drawings, as well as a selection of his most refined engravings, at Gruyeres Castle to coincide with the launch of his comic book, “The forget-me-not gardener”. Woodroffe, born in 1940, lives and works in Cornwall (GB). He is well known in Gruyères due to his exhibitions and the lighting installation in the prison tower. In his new book, he tells the initiatory tale of twin brothers who have been separated. One lives near the coastal town of Pendennis in Cornwall and the other near Gruyères Castle. The fate of these heroes is tightly linked to the emblematic character of these fortresses. The narration harmonises reality with fantasy as well as having an autobiographical touch and is lightly sprinkled with a touch of humour. As always with Woodroffe, the visuals are of an outstanding quality. He develops a play of poetic shapes between the plant, animal and the human world. By their detail and line precision, his vignettes evoke an art virtuoso of the fantasy miniature.
