Historic Cliff Lodge, overlooking Nantucket Harbor, selects award-winning artist Percy FortiniWright for a solo exhibition titled Ménagerie, to be displayed for the fall of 2018. The opening reception on October 6th will feature a live painting performance by the artist. Displayed works will span multiple bodies of paintings created over the last several years, including landscapes, nocturnal scenes, portraits, abstractions, and signature series The Children from Beyond. The exhibit will run October 6th through December 20th, 2018. A portion of the proceeds from the work sold will be donated to the Nantucket Cottage Hospital.

Through his command of depth and perspective, using the spray can and brush, Fortini-Wright melds gritty elements of the streets into his fine art foundations. His life is as diverse as his subjects. He spends his days painting, teaching and sailing, and his nights fishing Cape Cod and tackling the urban landscape. Fortini-Wright’s work is exhibited nationally and abroad through gallery exhibitions, murals and private commissions. His work has been featured in numerous publications from Juxtapose magazine to American Art Collector, and he has been featured on WGBH’s Open Studio with Jared Bowen and was awarded Boston’s Best by the Improper Bostonian in 2015. Join Cliff Lodge owner Bob Cochran and manager Melissa Leonard for an evening of fine art, friends and fun. They are located at 9 Cliff Road, Nantucket, MA 02554.
