with Percy
Fortini-Wright’s new solo-exhibit: Entangled Lines
The
Copley Society of Art is proud to present Entangled Lines, a collection of spray-paint and oil paintings by Percy
Fortini-Wright. These paintings will be on display until October 28th
2015 in the upper gallery. Pulling the inspiration for his works from the beautiful,
creative and destructive forces of Mother Nature as well as architecture, Wright’s
work takes the audience on an observational journey of places, spaces, and
faces; blurring the lines between practices and impressions of subjects.
My Left Hand Stuck in the Matrix, I’m the Apex I Steal Science
Off Spaceships, 71 ½ x 71 ½
This Boston-based
artist earned his BFA and MFA from the Boston Institute of Art at Lesley
University. He has produced numerous solo shows in the Boston area and has
participated in multiple group exhibitions throughout the years. As a graffiti
artist he shows a carefree innocence with bold daring marks, not distinguishing
between a scribble and fully realized object. He is known for
his avant-garde mixture of graffiti with traditional formats and techniques, as
he commonly combines oil paint and spray paint in the same painting. This
exhibition is harmonized with contrasting values and the strength of the dark,
middle, and light tones. His inspirations
range from painters like Zorn, and John Singer Sargent to wild style pieces and
tags done with drippy markers.
