Percy Fortini-Wright is a Boston-based artist who received both his BFA and MFA from the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University. While in his youth, he wrote graffiti, most active during the late 1990’s, becoming a technician of wild style graffiti letters, tags and bubble letters. Simultaneously, he evolved as a traditional painter of scenes, abstraction, and portraiture to his characters the Children from Beyond. Exhibiting within both the public and private spheres and creating large and small-scale pieces, Percy merges the worlds of classical painting and graffiti techniques, boldly pushing the boundaries of his work without being confined by stylistic stereotypes.
