Paul Fabozzi’s paintings and works on paper have been exhibited widely in solo and group shows across New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Rome, Busan, and beyond. His work is held in numerous private and public collections, including the Weatherspoon Art Museum, San Diego Museum of Art, Neuberger Museum of Art, Frost Museum of Art, Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, and the New York Public Library.
Fabozzi is the recipient of a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship and support from the Café Royal Cultural Foundation. He is also the editor of Artists, Critics, Context: Readings in and around American Art since 1945 (Prentice-Hall), an anthology of writings on contemporary art.
He currently serves as Professor of Fine Arts and Chair of the Department of Art and Design at St. John’s University in Queens, New York, and as Creative Director of Moves: Movimenti Creativi, a visiting artist residency program based in Lucera, Italy.
Fabozzi earned his MFA from the University of Pennsylvania’s Weitzman School of Design in 1993 and his BFA from Alfred University’s School of Art and Design in 1988. His formative studies also included programs in Cortona, Italy, with the University of Georgia at Athens in 1989, and in Siena, Italy, with SUNY Buffalo in 1987.
“My approach to art making has made me feel more deeply the extent to which spatial experience is the basis of perception, and that creating images is a form of making meaning from experience. My work stakes a claim for the role that image making plays in constructing our conscious relationship to our surroundings and explores our need to establish deep connections to the physical world.”

Join artist Paul Fabozzi for an engaging conversation about the works featured in his current exhibition. Fabozzi will discuss how his artistic process unfolds as a dialogue between the act of making and the experience of place. Through layers of mark-making, rhythm, and repetition, his paintings and drawings translate spatial memory into visual form—transforming observation into abstraction.
This talk will explore how location, process, and perception inform Fabozzi’s creative language, offering insight into how artists can translate the sensory experience of place into a poetic visual conversation. The program may also include a dialogue with another artist, critic, or historian to expand on shared ideas of site, mapping, and meaning.
