Frenchy to Paint in NYC for Super Bowl

NEW ORLEANS – New Orleans-based artist Frenchy – internationally known in fine art circles and beyond for his sports and music paintings – will “paint the town” in New York for Super Bowl week and beyond with a full slate of painting performances scheduled in the tri-state area from Jan. 29 to Feb. 7. Known for vividly capturing events on canvas in real time with style and flair, Frenchy will be a frequent guest on ESPN sets during Super Bowl week and will paint a New York Knicks game on behalf of the MSG Network. In addition, he is slated to appear on Good Morning America, while also painting at music and charity events surrounding Super Bowl XLVIII.

“I am honored to be part of the Super Bowl celebration in New York,” Frenchy said. “Inspired by Leroy Neiman, I began painting sporting events more than two decades ago. It’s very humbling to know that my work has gained the acceptance and notoriety that my heroes’ work has and I am ready to paint my tail off in New York.”
