Born, raised, educated and living in Connecticut at present. Artistry and aesthetics have been a focus of my life for my entire career. As a practicing cosmetic and reconstructive dentist, I have  learned how to use the smile as my canvas. Painting and art have become a true passion and one of my greatest pleasures. Most of my works use acrylic and epoxy resins applied to canvas, metal, wood, plexiglass or MDF. The bigger and more colorful the better.  I have experienced much commercial success selling works at Galleries in Connecticut and New York City,  local interior designers, my dental office (where 100% of proceeds are donated to local  charities that help people as well as pets in need), my website (www.abstractartbyjohnfatse.com) and other websites. My works have been featured in Art World News,  Westport Lifestyles Magazine. and scattered across the United States in private collections. Thank you for viewing my works and I appreciate any comments. I have only  recently began to offer prints of my original works for sale. A great joy is knowing that my art has found homes and continue to provide pleasure to many.

Techniques

All of my work is unique and original. The epoxy pieces are made by mixing mica, metal flake and  pigments to a two part epoxy that is applied with brush, palette knife or other personally made tools to the substrate.  This technique is much trickier to master than simply pouring resin over an acrylic or oil painting to wake it up.  The result is a molten glass like fusion of colors that has depth, translucency, engaging color blends and unique patterns found only in epoxy art made in the above manner.
