Patrick Thomas is a graphic artist, author and educator. He studied at Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art in London before relocating to Barcelona in 1991. He currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Since October 2013 he is a professor of communication design at Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design. In 2006 he was admitted into Alliance Graphique Internationale and in Spring 2019 he was invited for a seven-week residency at The German Academy in Rome. In January 2020 his artwork for The Berliner Philharmoniker was shortlisted for a Grammy. He has exhibited his limited-edition silkscreens across five continents, where many are now held in private and public collections. He has lectured and held many workshops worldwide — extensively in the UK and Spain. Following two decades of studio-based client and self-initiated work, recent years have seen the focus of his practice shift towards interactive projects for public spaces. In 2022 he was conferred an honorary doctorate by Birmingham City University, UK.

On 31 January, at 5 pm, the lecture 'Patrick Thomas - From the Studio to The Street' takes place in ESAD's auditorium.

The ESAD Open Talks are part of the programme of lectures and intensive workshops of the Masters in Communication Design.
