Patrick Earl Hammie (born 1981, New Haven, Connecticut) is a contemporary American painter who works blend traditional and contemporary modes of figurative representation.[1] His large scale paintings explore the tension between power and vulnerability as he re-imagines the modern male and questions traditional examples of masculinity. Coming of age in a generation that is post-Civil Rights and post-Second Wave Feminism, Hammie situates himself in the discourse of contemporary figure painting that challenges and creates visual alternatives to traditional and historical examples of masculinity.[2] His work draws upon his life history as a son, a male, and an African American struggling to synthesize past adversity and acclimatize to present realities. [3]

In 2004 Hammie received his Bachelor of Arts with a concentration in Drawing and minor in Psychology from Coker College in South Carolina.[4] In 2008 he received his Master of Fine Arts with a concentration in Painting and Drawing from The University of Connecticut in Storrs, and became the Inaugural Recipient of the Alice C. Pole Class of 1942 Fellowship in Studio Art from Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts.
