Collected by everyone from major museums to musicians, gracing festival posters and album covers, Tony Fitzpatrick’s boisterous art has the wide reach so few contemporary artists achieve. This Chicago son — variously described as a poet, actor, former tattoo artist, former boxer, and Catholic school troublemaker — also has a deep history with birds, his first subjects. When he was young, his grandmother introduced him to their morning chorus, saying, “For a piece of bread, you can hear God sing.”
The artist intertwines symbolism, poetry, ephemera, and a love for music and birds in The Secret Birds, a collection of small, avian-inspired collages absolutely bursting with color.
Twelve monthly grids and full-color artwork.
