Though Fedele Spadafora currently lives in New York City, the artist is more accurately a citizen of the world, and always on the move. Having earned a B.A. from Michigan State University in his native East Lansing, Spadafora headed to Prague, where he spent six years painting and Illustrating books for an alternative press. He then spent five years studying with Nelson Shanks at the Art Students League of New York and Studio Incamminati in Philadelphia. His work reflects his ongoing interest in “real” people and places within a metropolis, as well as nature and landscape.His work has been shown in New York, Frankfurt, Tunis, and Prague.
