From January 6, 2011 until March 4, 2011, local artist, F. Paul Pracilio, will exhibit portraits of his friends, neighbors, ad patrons in his first Boston show. Held in the FP3 Gallery, located at 346 Congress Street, his subjects will be presented in a manner that is completely unexpected and often in a time period before our modern day.

After an almost forty year career in the advertising industry, Pracilio has successfully transitioned into a fine artist known for his powerful portraits and his ability to capture the essence of his subject. It was in 1993 that Paul left advertising to pursue a full-time career in painting. At first, his still life scenes and original compositions of outdoor markets attracted the attention of private collectors, but in 2002, an article in the New York Times featured a series of portraits and earned him additional recognition as an incredible portrait artist.

On Thursday, January 6, 2011 from 6-8pm, there will be an opening reception with the artist. So come on down to check out his work, you won’t want to miss this great show!

The FP3 gallery is located in the lobby space of FP3′s Luxury Residences, and is free and open to the public during their regular business hours, and regularly rotates the artist exhibits- stay updated on the latest artist to be featured and Gallery events by following us on Twitter, Fanning Us on Facebook, or visiting our blog for updates.
