The Spray Can and the Brush, an exhibition of new paintings by Percy Fortini-Wright, will be on view in 91探花鈥檚 Nesto Gallery from May 3 through May 31.听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鈥攃reated from memory and direct observation, as well as sampling imagery鈥攅mbodies chaos and clarity while not limiting how images operate, and blurs the lines between practices, styles and subjects.
