Patrick-Earl Art TM

Patrick-Earl™ was created in 1995 in honor of my late father, Earl A. Barnes, Jr., in recognition of the extraordinary importance and influence he had, and still has, in my life. The brand name unites my father’s and my first names, joined by a hyphen symbolically representing a “hitch,” inviting my father to take this art journey with me.

Patrick-Earl™ evolved naturally and spiritually out of my aspiration to pass on the deep connections I had with my father through my art, by pushing the boundaries of my work to go “a little deeper.”

Patrick-Earl™ is a global art brand encompassing the work of visual artist Patrick-Earl Barnes. Founded in 1995 by the artist, the brand has expanded over the years to include original artworks, product licensing of images, and commissioned work. From the streets of SoHo to galleries across the globe, PE’s art has captivated audiences and collectors alike, his “deep folk” aesthetic finding resonance at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, and in Germany, Spain, Sweden, and France. His work has appeared in several major motion pictures, television shows, and commercials, and has been exhibited in galleries, museums, high-end boutique hotels, and retail stores worldwide. His work is owned by an impressive list of collectors worldwide, including numerous celebrities.
