American painter Patrick Farrell illustrates a natural talent that has developed without formal art training of any kind. His pristine still-lifes and trompe l’oeil paintings flawlessly executed in the demanding style of “super-realism” have earned him a noteworthy place among leading painters. Traditional in detail, contemporary in their simplicity, Patrick Farrell paintings are jewels in their own right. Beautifully painted, these paintings evoke the elegance of nineteenth century still-lifes.
Farrell has been exhibiting his work for over thirty years and has been represented by leading galleries across the country. His paintings have been displayed in over thirty-five solo exhibitions and have been included in countless group exhibitions internationally. His works can be found in public and corporate collections throughout the United States and numerous private collections internationally.
