His next local show opens Monday, November 22, 2010 at 8pm and runs through December 18 at The Peacock Room.
The similar Pop-surreal genre sprung from the 60’s tattoo art and Japanese anime and began as an urban underground network. Since then it has emerged in some of the most established galleries across the world. Fatica creates an image full of unexpected emotion and mixes the surreal worlds with soft touches. The porcelain skin and large eyes of each nymph-like female sets the stage for a fantasy world depicted in her surroundings. It seems as if each girl has a unique story to tell.
When asked why he paints only women, Fatica responded, “I like painting women the most. There’s a sense of fragile confidence, and a range of other emotions right behind their eyes that I love to play with. I try to create a back-story in my head of how these people got to this place. It’s like a snap-shot in time. I like to play with the idea of isolation.”
Almost all of the pieces to be exhibited in the November 22nd show were done specifically for this event and have not been seen by anyone. Fatica also promises to hit all of the price points having not only his original pieces, but also Limited Edition Prints and other “propaganda” available.
