ARCHIVE-C
Archive-C is an art and design studio that brings together
industry-leading companies and fine artists to create
collaborative experiential exhibitions. We believe
contemporary art is the most powerful and expansive framework
of storytelling in an increasingly dynamic and fragmented world.
Our clients appreciate the value of art and are actively seeking
ways to engage in more creative expressions of their
commercial capabilities. Our projects are experimental in nature
and
always yield opportunities for art enthusiasts to
observe, participate, and collect.

Patrick is an art collector, dealer, and advisor. As a student at Harvard Graduate School of Design, he produced and edited design journals and curated student exhibitions. His passion for art and design sparked an interest in exploring other creative cultures, which led to an eventual career as a Public Diplomacy Officer at the State Department. As a diplomat stationed in the U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou, China, Patrick was the liaison between the consulate and local post-secondary design institutions as well as art galleries, frequently giving talks on art, architecture, design, and art criticism.
Since founding Ceylon, a men’s-focused skincare brand, his eye has always been on how to better connect the brand to the art world, culminating in a compelling collaboration with emerging abstract artist Trey Hurst to launch its first personal fragrance.
From Patrick’s perspective, the presence of art in our lives allows us to understand one another better and connects us to higher levels of consciousness. Art is the medium through which we can speak on things that we otherwise may not be able to express clearly. It allows us to discover new aesthetic and intellectual possibilities. Art challenges us to step outside of ourselves and see what isn’t always apparent. Most of all, art is an opportunity to bear witness to what makes humanity special.
