Pat’s work explores the intersection of art, architecture, and drawing, emphasising observation, process, and imperfection.
From massive murals to intimate books, he works across all mediums, with drawing at the heart of it all. His intricate cityscapes reflect a belief in creativity’s power to deepen our understanding of the world and engage with it more thoughtfully.
Patrick Vale is an artist whose intricate, freehand drawings explore the world through careful observation, expressive linework and layered detail.
At heart, Patrick Vale is an observer- curious about people, places, and the stories hidden in plain sight. His drawings blend precision and spontaneity, capturing everything from complex city structures to fleeting human moments. Based in Brooklyn, he works across paper, walls, and screens, using line to explore the beauty in everyday life. Recent projects include a public mural in Philadelphia and collaborations with ABBA, Sir Paul Smith, and the Chicago Cubs. This site offers a window into his evolving practice and process.
