B & O Cleaners Painting

This is a classic neon sign in Deland, Florida. I spoke with the owner of it and they would love to keep it intact. Unfortunately many cities are considering and already have taken down these type of signs and imposed restrictions on business owners signage. Where do they all go? It's Americana disappearing. Inspired by Photorealism and Pop Art I shoot my own images for inspiration and make adjustments and changes to the color, perspective, and details to suite the composition and bring out the best in the subject at hand. Texture is important in these works and is shown through detail of the natural break-down of materials such as rusting metal and peeling paint on buildings and signage. Through this I portray a sort of melancholy of nostalgia, a time before, and quiet celebration of subjects such as Americana and pop culture. This particular piece focuses on American neon signage. These old signs are still in usage, and yet many are disappearing from urban landscape. Lately, I've turned my focus to neon, so it is a reoccurring theme in my work. This work is acrylic on canvas which is unusual for me. The details to get the texture take a great deal of time and layers of paint.
