TONY
FITZPATRICK
Tony
Fitzpatrick writes and paints about bothersome subjects. He is serious
about them. You'd have to be a deaf blind retarded mute to have
missed the ugliness and debasing dehumanizing constructs perpetrated
daily in any urban center today. Crimes against humanity.
Some
of us have nightmares of violence, real or imagined, and we express
it in various ways. We carry guns, learn to use knives, manipulate
others to do our bidding or are so big in the first place that WE
have to keep close guard and rein on the mad bouncing blood we call
home. Tony's a big guy but I think it's more important to keep an
eye and ear on his heart. He's bringing a message from a point of
view of someone equipped and prepared to navigate the jungle. But
he's also chosen to express it through his work.
