Originally from Bristol, England, artist\u00a0Patrick Vale<\/a>\u00a0recently moved to New York and invited us to check out his studio in DUMBO, Brooklyn.\u00a0\u201cIs it a painting or a drawing?\u201d Was one of the first things he said before he asked: \u201cWhat do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to compress his work into one descriptive element because at the same time that it is a drawing; it\u2019s also a painting, a photograph, a feeling, and a point of view. \u201cThis is the biggest piece I\u2019ve ever done!\u201d He said as he referenced his new project, Catches Worm<\/i>. This 12ft long, bright orange cityscape is part of a series of 4 drawings <\/span>that were commissioned for the new development, ROW DTLA<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0in downtown Los Angeles complex where beautiful old warehouses are being transformed into creative offices, retail spaces and a center for art and culture.<\/p>\n

“I was approached last summer, and I\u2019ve been working with them ever since. So far, I\u2019ve done several line drawings, and I\u2019ll be doing a residency in the complex all through August, with an on-site exhibition at the end.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Being known for his detailed drawings of landscapes and skylines, Pat has an extensive list of clients such as Apple, BMW, and Pentagram. He owes some of his success to two time-lapse videos that he made of his drawings of New York City. He explained to us how he used sketches that he had made when he was in New York to make these large-scale drawings. “I put it online and long story short, it went viral and a good amount of press and commissions resulted from that. So that was a good calling card for me…”<\/span><\/p>\n
