Collection: Patrick O'Donnell

Patrick O’Donnell started painting houses at 12, scraping siding and cleaning tools for the elders on the crew. Out back, he’d wipe excess paint on scraps of sheetrock or plywood.

Eventually, the plywood started to talk back.

This began a decades-long conversation weaving through labor, color, punk, memory, and myth. Patrick's work carries the lineage of D.I.Y. culture and outsider art, fused with a wicked sense of humor and a reverence for the everyday.

Pat’s materials are humble. His voice is not. Somewhere between the Ramones and Phyllis Diller, between enamel and existentialism, you’ll find him — still scraping, still painting, still laughing.

Artist Statement

From that day to this, a few bad blocks and potholes aside… we’ve been terribly happy. We’re ever so happy. Really we are.
