Fazzino artwork in Stamford Downtown...."Downtown Dogs in Stamford" love affair
The love affair between the city of Stamford, Connecticut and the Fazzino's
continued this summer. Earlier this year, the Stamford Downtown organization
approached the artist and asked him to decorate one of the informational kiosk
structures in the city. Together with his daughter Heather, Charles began a
creative process that resulted in .... "Downtown Dogs in Stamford," a
collaborative effort.
"I have enjoyed working with my daughter," said Charles Fazzino.
"When Stamford came to me with this idea, i thought it was a perfect
opportunity to meld Heather's dogs with my cityscape backdrop into a piece of
artwork that would brighten up the surroundings and draw some attention to
Stamford and all of its beautification efforts. It took us a few months to get
it realized, but it was fun to be with Heather and put on the final touches
together."
The Kiosk is located at 189 Bedford Street in front of Cappriccio's Cafe. So
if you're in town.....check it out!

Charles Fazzino bio:
Charles
Fazzino, The Master of 3D Pop Art, is one of the most popular and
highly-collected artists of all time. During his more-than-thirty years as a
pop artist, he has inserted his unique, detailed, vibrant, and
three-dimensional style of artwork into the very fabric of popular culture.
Fazzino’s artworks are exhibited in hundreds of museums and galleries in more
than twenty different countries. He has received many private and important
commissions and has been selected as the official artist for festivals and
events all over the world including The Super Bowl, MLB All-Star Game, The
Olympics, and the GRAMMY Awards. Charles is often referred to as a pop culture
historian because of the breadth of his work and the way it touches his
collectors and captures the best parts of their contemporary lives. His legacy
will mark him as part of the next generation of famous pop artists as he
follows the paths originally forged by pop art pioneers such as Andy Warhol,
Keith Haring and Red Grooms. See his entire collection at www.fazzino.com
