The Spray Can and the Brush, an exhibition of new paintings by Percy Fortini-Wright, will be on view in Milton’s Nesto Gallery from May 3 through May 31. Through a wide array of schemes within representational painting and graffiti vernacular, Fortini-Wright interprets, depicts and deciphers the world around and within. This recent work—created from memory and direct observation, as well as sampling imagery—embodies chaos and clarity while not limiting how images operate, and blurs the lines between practices, styles and subjects.
Percy Fortini-Wright holds both BFA and MFA degrees from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University, where he now teaches as an adjunct. Mr. Fortini-Wright is described as a major force in the re-emergence of graffiti as an art form, particularly in the greater-Boston area.
The Nesto Gallery is located on the lower level of the Art and Media Center. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
