This painting, The Bronx Bombers” was inspired by trips I used to take in the early 1980’s up to the south Bronx to watch kids graffiti subway cars at the IRT train yards. The south Bronx was a wasteland of burnt out tenement buildings, sex workers and their pimps driving around in modified Cadillac “Eldorados” commonly known as “Pimp Mobiles”. The soup can subway car was painted by “Futura 2000.
About the artist
“I’m in my early sixties and grew up on the Bowery, back when it was in a state of glorious decay, rife with hookers, winos, dope fiends and flop houses. I have spent the last three decades documenting sub-cultures as diverse as snake handlers in West Virginia to Furries at their conventions.
These experiences and others have informed my visual vocabulary to execute thought-provoking and compelling work in both paint and video.
I am not an art world insider; like the sub-cultures I explore, I have remained on the margins. I have had a number of shows in New York, and Toronto and various art fairs throughout Europe”
