SUMMARY:Artist Vincent Fantauzzo - Book Launch Event
DESCRIPTION:Vincent Fantauzzo – Unveiled\nMEET THE AUTHOR \nMarch sees the release of ‘Unveiled’ by renowned Australian portrait artist Vincent Fantauzzo and he is visiting us to share his story.  \n \n  \nWednesday 26h March\n6:00pm to 7.30pm \nCOST: $15\nLOCATION: Barossa Regional Gallery\nAGES: 18+\nDOORS OPEN: 5.45pm for 6pm start \nLight supper will be provided. \nBOOK TICKETS HERE \n  \n  \n‘Unveiled’ is the incredible true story of how a street-fighting petty criminal\, who was kicked out of school at fourteen\, became one of Australia’s most celebrated and successful portrait artists. Raised amid poverty and violence on the poor streets of Melbourne\, Vincent Fantauzzo was just a boy when he accepted\, he would either die very young\, become a gangster\, or end up behind bars. \nJoin Barossa Libraries and Barossa Regional Gallery on Wednesday 26 March to hear how Vincent used forged papers to hustle his way into art school where dark secrets threatened to sink his brilliant career before it even began. Today his work hangs in galleries around the world including the National Portrait Gallery and Federal Parliament House in Canberra. He’s sold-out international exhibitions\, won the Archibald Prize People’s Choice Award more times than any artist and taken out the Doug Moran Portrait Prize. Twice. \nWe look forward to learning more about Vincent and the remarkable\, sometimes ridiculous\, and occasionally glamorous\, life he willed into existence despite severe and undiagnosed dyslexia that left him with no formal education and debilitating memory problems. Sometimes tragic\, often hilarious but always deeply moving\, Unveiled is a paint-spattered\, star-studded\, white-knuckle ride from the Housing Commission ghettos of Australia to the art galleries of Hong Kong\, through the back roads of India and into the nightclubs of New York as Vincent chases his dream with humility\, humour and a boundless love for people and a life better lived. \nThis is an event that you will absolutely remember for many years. \n  \nImage 1: Vincent Fantauzzo\, Portrait Artist.
