PASADENA, CA – Renowned Irish contemporary painter Patrick Graham will be featured in a major solo exhibition entitled Patrick Graham: Notes from Ireland at the Jack Rutberg Fine Arts Gallery in Pasadena, with an opening reception on Sunday, February 1, 2026 from 3:00 to 6:00 PM.

The exhibition, which extends through April 18, offers a rare opportunity to view a compelling selection of large scale paintings and poignant drawings. In Graham’s case, drawing is a misnomer for his works on paper mounted on board which combine ink, graphite, paint, and torn collages of his own drawings. Subtly nuanced, they offer layered images as varied as any of his monumental paintings. In Graham’s work, even a smudge or random mark can surprisingly evoke an expressive figure or entire landscape.
