EMPIRE

Check out the show at Mother Falcon Clothing in Thornton Park Orlando. I did two pieces and here they are:

"You Would Destroy All For Which They Have Fought And Suffered"

"A Saber Takes Labor, But A Blaster Is Faster"

Shirts are available here for the next few weeks. I also have Giclee prints of Yoda available at my store

Empire Strikes Back at Mother Falcon.....

Doing something a little out of my comfort zone. Mother Falcon is doing a group show in honor of the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back. I've agreed to do a piece for the show. I just put together the sketch, and I'm getting started early. I'm going to keep this painting under wraps until the show, but I'll keep you posted on all of the details of the show in the upcoming couple months. Here's a hint: No big eyed nymphs in this piece...

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.”
