Paul Fabozzi’s imagery is personal, diagrams of experience that the artist renders in oil paint, gouache and pencil. Employing muted colors, Fabozzi uses spaces such as the Roman church Sant' Agnese Fuori la Mura as an inspiration point for his personal mapping methodologies. The resulting images are striking in their juxtaposition of amorphous, abstract pools of color with strong, geometric passages that resemble architectural blueprints.
“As our relationship with the world becomes increasingly mediated by the use of technology, questions concerning experiential knowledge as opposed to theoretical knowledge are becoming more important,” explains Fabozzi. “What is particularly interesting to me is the connection between the phenomenological and the epistemological interpretation of place.”
Fabozzi earned his B.F.A. at Alfred University, New York State College of Ceramics and his M.F.A. at the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Fine Arts. He is currently an assistant professor at St. John’s University in New York. Fabozzi has exhibited both in the U.S. and abroad; recent exhibits include a group show, Contemporary American Images All’Italiana, at the Walsh Library Gallery, Seton Hall University (2002) and a two-person exhibit with Annette Cords, Investigations of Language and Place, at The Painted Bride Art Center in Philadelphia, PA (2001).
