The Arthur Roger Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of recent paintings and sculptural work by Louisiana artist Francis X. Pavy. The exhibition will be on view from March 5 – April 30, 2005 at the Arthur Roger Gallery Project located at 730 Tchoupitoulas Street. Mr. Pavy will be in attendance at the opening reception for the exhibition on Saturday, March 5th from 6 to 8pm.
Francis Pavy's exhibition will include both large and small paintings on canvas, painted wood constructions and an installation which is part of the artist's ongoing series of migratory birds. In his recent work Pavy continues to draw upon the beauty and spirit of the rich Acadian culture of Southwest Louisiana. A large painting in the exhibition is devoted to the Cajun Mardi Gras experience.
Pavy's works have a marvelous narrative quality. His paintings are saturated with vibrant color and intricately detailed imagery. Pavy’s richly animated three-dimensional constructions are magical wooden skyscrapers ranging in height from 49 inches to 8½ feet that together create a fantasy skyline.
Francis Pavy was born on Mardi Gras Day in Opelousas, Louisiana in 1954. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting from the University of Southwestern Louisiana in Lafayette. He now resides with his family in Lafayette, Louisiana.
