About the Item
Entitled The Eagle Flies on Friday, this work on paper depicts a Bald eagle flying in the late afternoon on a Friday. The two guitars crossed in the upper left-hand corner and a French accordion hidden in the left bottom right corner give a celebratory feel to the image. A distant flock of purple swifts inhabit the right upper middle portion of the image. A purple indigo plant overlays the turquoise Spanish guar on the left. Undulating light blue lines depict water flowing overlay an emerging dark blue palmetto partially obscuring the accordion on the bottom right corner. A blue orb above the eagle symbolizes the New Blue moon signaling new beginnings.

Francis X Pavy
A lifelong resident of Louisiana, Francis X Pavy was born in Lafayette on March 2, 1954. As a child, Francis studied art under the direction of Elemore Morgan Jr. In college, he graduated in 1976 with a fine arts degree in sculpture. In 1977 Pavy started working in a glass shop, making leaded and beveled glass windows. In 1982 he opened his own glass studio. Pavy works in a variety of media. Francis Pavy's works vibrate with life, color, and musical rhythm. The abstract dimension in his works are always profoundly grounded in southern motifs and culture. Pavy touches on many subjects including, mysticism, love, loss and separation, humor, betrayal, friendship, and loyalty as well as many other themes. Pavy’s work has been well received with one-man exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Aspen, New Orleans, France, and Switzerland. Pavy has participated in many notable groups shows such as Outward Bound: American Art on the Brink of the Twenty-first Century (traveling from the United States to Indonesia and the Middle East), Elvis And Marilyn: 2 times Immortal (traveling from the United States to Japan), Southern Narrative Painting (Southeast U.S.) and Invites: Peintres Louisiana (Paris, France). Pavy has been commissioned to place work in public art spaces such as The New Orleans International Airport, The Renaissance Art Hotel, New Orleans, Harrah’s Casino, New Orleans, Mulates Restaurant, New Orleans, Dominica Restaurant, New Orleans, Iberia bank Towers, Lafayette, La., Lafayette Surgical and Specialty Hospital, Lafayette, La and few more. Major corporations such as Brown-Ferguson Corporation, Premier, Bankcorp, BMG Music, Capitol Records, and Rounder Records have collected Pavy’s work as well as many museums and individual collectors. Notable museums and individual collectors include; The New Orleans Museum of Art and the Morris Museum of Art, Ron Howard, Lorne Michaels, Paul Simon, Walker Percy, Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia, Antione de Caunes, Philippe Djain, and Steve Cropper. Pavy’s work has been published in a variety of catalogs, books, and magazine articles. Some catalogs include Elvis & Marilyn: 2 times Immortal, (US & Japanese Edition), The South: A Treasury Of Art and Literature, Francis X. Pavy, La Musique Zydeco, The Colors of Rhythm, and Outward Bound, American Art on the brink of the 21st Century. Eric Bookhart of Art Papers writes about Pavy’s work; “Pavy uses patterning and figurative distortions to achieve mind-bending effects. With his deeply luminous tonalities, the end result is like an unhinged formalism with a beautiful palette.”In the New Orleans Art Review,Calvin Harland writes:“He, In my opinion, is already a rare artist to come out of the Cajun world: meaning he is one of the very few artists of a Similar Cajun Heritage to have made in-depth use of his native source material”
