FPA Francis Pavy Artist Paintings
American, b. 1954
Francis X. Pavy is a painter and mixed-media artist known for retelling the traditional stories and folklore of South Louisiana through a visual vocabulary of mystic iconography and vibrant colors. Pavy’s career as an artist began as a ceramist before working in glass for many years, eventually transitioning to brush painting, mixed media, and block printing. Common themes in his work include Cajun and Creole music, folk-mysticism, and the native flora and fauna of the Gulf Coast. Francis’ work is represented in galleries around the United States and his work is held in national and international collections. .
Pavy’s work has been well-received regionally, nationally, and internationally with one-man exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Aspen, New Orleans as well as France, and Switzerland. Pavy has also participated in many notable group shows such as Outward Bound: American Art on the Brink of the 21st 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 Louisianais (Paris, France).
Major corporations such as Brown-Ferguson Corporation, Premier, Bancorp, BMG Music, Capitol Records and Rounder Records have collected Pavy’s work in addition to 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, Paul Simon, Lorne Michaels, GLen Frey, Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz,Walker Percy, Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia, Antoine de Caunes, Philippe Djain and Steve Cropper.
