Patrick Fatica: November

November

Here are the posters for my solo "Fables of the Equinox" show November 16th at The Peacock Room.

The autumn season begins with the Equinox. The new season is the perfect setting for the annual Patrick Fatica art show at the Peacock Room. For the 4^th annual show, beginning November 16th, Fatica will have his latest paintings from 2009 on display along with a few works from 2008. Patrick Fatica’s evocative scenes each create their own visceral narrative. The show’s title “Fables of the Equinox” is representative in the 2009 paintings. The new images portray the evolution of the seasons depicting his haunting beauties as solitary figures in bazaar seasonal dream worlds. Featured at The Peacock Room will be original oil paintings and framed and canvas limited edition prints for sale. Fatica also has what he calls “propaganda” for sale. This includes necklace pendants, ID cases, and lunchbox purses.

BIO

His paintings have been called, “a sublime blend of Tim Burton and Botticelli” by the Baltimore Examiner. Patrick Fatica attended Ringling School of Art and Design from 1990 to 1994. He moved to Orlando, Florida in 1995. He spent the first few years developing a production company with a few friends called Eat Cake Productions. He directed several original plays and the 16mm film “Five Miles from Heaven,” which appeared in festivals around the country. After completing the film, he and his two business partners created 2 music venues on the east side of Orlando and downtown Orlando called Back Booth. After almost a decade of traveling down different artistic paths, he picked up the paintbrush again and dedicated himself to his painting. With over 40 shows between 2007 and 2009 Patrick’s Pop-Surreal portraits have spanned from Los Angeles, CA to Madison, WI. Recently the Orlando Weekly said about his solo exhibition, “Operating on the edge between street and highbrow art, Fatica’s world is dark and devoid of highbrow puffery, instead depicting a surreal, nihilistic future inspired more by David Lynch’s Eraserhead than the bright futurism explored at the 1939 World’s Fair.”
