DAO - Digital Acid Overdose - Visual and Digital Artist. Acid Boy is Pat Cantin’s alter ego, a full time visual artist based in Montréal Canada, since 2002. Acid Boy’s aesthetic is characterized by deep illusions created through shapes and patterns. He also plays with bright and flashy colours which can be very disturbing for some viewers. Although his work is fully digital, it feels organic and real. His pieces have slow, hypnotic, even meditative movements.
