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.”
