2017 Tony Fitzpatrick: The Secret Birds Wall Calendar

Collected by everyone from major museums to musicians and gracing everything from festival posters to album covers, Tony Fitzpatricks boisterous art has the wide reach so few contemporary artists achieve. This Chicago son is variously described as a poet, actor, former tattoo artist, former boxer, and Catholic school troublemaker. The artist intertwines symbolism, poetry, ephemera, and a love for music and birds in The Secret Birds, a collection of small, avian-inspired collages absolutely bursting with color.
