Bryan Vigil (New York, 1988).

Lives and works in Salt Lake City-USA

Known artistically as Patrick Cat, Bryan is a multidisciplinary artist born in the Bronx to Mexican immigrant parents. His childhood, shaped by frequent moves between the dynamic energy of the Bronx and the tranquility of Cuautla, Morelos, cultivated a profound bond with art as both a sanctuary and a means of expression. From a young age, drawing offered him solace, fueled by American pop culture, which he vividly reimagined using crayons, markers, and colors.

A self-taught artist by choice, Bryan launched his artistic career in Mexico in 2010. Since 2020, he has been based in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he continues to channel memories of his childhood and the richness of his bicultural experiences into his work, infusing it with narrative depth and emotional resonance.

Specializing in tattooing, Patrick Cat’s pictorial practice is distinguished by its fusion of his cultural background with oil painting, dry pastel, and watercolor. His work brings to life two original concepts: ColorOut™ and Organic Neo Watercolor. He has collaborated with prominent tattoo studios in Mexico, USA and Europe, further enriching his multidisciplinary approach.

(Burial Art Gallery, Black House Morelia), United States (Soho Ink, Parallax Art Studio, Awaken Tattoo, True Love, Iji Emporium, Sashatattooing), Spain (El Salado), and France (Le Gamin à Dix Dots), in addition to collaborating with brands such as Gold Bond. In Utah, he has made his mark on the cultural scene by designing the cover for the April 2024 issue of SLUG Mag and participating in an interview for the same publication.

Since 2018, Bryan has worked alongside his manager and partner, Yuri Ortiz, with whom he runs MixiArt Studio, an exhibition space in the city where he resides, dedicated to transdisciplinarity in art, where he serves as executive and operations director.

His commitment to art extends beyond tattooing, having trained in Curatorship, Museography, and Conservation at the Mexican Institute of Curatorship and Restoration, and in Exhibition Design at the NODE Center in Berlin.

His work has been featured in collective exhibitions that seek to expand dialogues and explore the boundaries of contemporary artistic practices.
