March Exhibition Opening

The opening reception for Abstract Punk, a solo exhibition of paintings by acclaimed visual artist Tommas Fattovich, will take place during this Old Town Untapped! on March 4, 2022, and run through May 22, 2022.

The works included in this exhibition spotlight dynamics of pigmentation and energy, which engage the viewer immediately with their incredible vibrance and color. Fattovich paints with a combination of media using his hands and tools such as plaster trowels to create a textured surface. His powerful compositions, eloquent and raw in their palette and gesture, draw the viewer in to sense the often-overlooked energy all around them in the world.

The vast art landscape of the Wynwood Art District in Miami became the backdrop to Fattovich's first fine art exhibitions beginning in 2010. His work has since been included in exhibitions in Miami, San Francisco, Palm Springs, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Boca Raton, East Hampton, as well as his first solo show in New York at CJ One Gallery in 2021.
