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.

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.”
— Paul Fabozzi, 2025
In LIC Morphology, Paul Fabozzi presents a series of interrelated paintings inspired by his wanderings beneath the elevated train lines of Long Island City, Queens. Using the dynamic intersections of structure, light, and movement as his foundation, Fabozzi transforms this ever-changing urban landscape into a meditation on rhythm, space, and time.
Over the past fifteen years, Fabozzi has observed and documented the dramatic transformation of the Queensboro Plaza area through an ongoing archive of photographs. His paintings reimagine these impressions through layered mark-making and shifting tonalities that evoke both the industrial past and the architectural energy of the present. In LIC Morphology, the city becomes both subject and metaphor—a living structure in constant motion.
