Blood On The Streets Painting

This piece is very personal to me, as I began painting it when I was a teenager seventeen years ago, and it was one of the first pieces that I began as an artist. I only recently completed it this year during my time recuperating from a traumatic brain injury.

It is a painting of my home city, Stamford Connecticut. The use of elements to highlight the reflection of light is prominent, including latex, glue, and plastic, as a way of playing with the light, but also highlighting the shiny and vain shallowness that the city can represent. I created this as a mixed media piece in order to let the light affect the viewer's experience as day passed, and transformed.

The coming together of the various elements, including the time it took to complete, the light reflected in the elements, and the brain injury that I am still recovering from while completing it symbolizes the triumph and perseverance of the indomitable human spirit.

Profits from this project will go towards buying new equipment and supplies to launch a bold new series of works.
