This piece is a recreation of one of Stanley Kubrick's first professional photographs for Look Magazine when he was only 17 years old. The lights and potential for color in this piece were my inspiration and starting point. Three weeks, and many pain staking hours later, the colors came together beautifully and I believe I captured the energy of what that night might have been like. Many passers by at shows say that it reminds them of Edward Hopper's famous "Night Hawks" painting. Since I was in Chicago at the last art show, I thought, "I need to see that in person again to see if their reactions are right." I could see the comparison in the bright lights under the canopy, but, as much as I might wish to have the same capability, it's a far cry from the brilliance of Edward Hopper. It would be a great statement piece for anyone that loves Chicago, and especially those Chicagoans that are drawn to the midcentury modern, the 40's/ 50's, and the noir era.

I spend a great deal of time exploring color; it’s subjective nature, it’s ability to arouse feelings in the subconscious, and the way it creates depth in two dimensional space. Shades and tone play a vital role in my images, giving emphasis to a certain detail, creating space between two elements, or adding a sense of gravity or levitation. I often think of how children see the world as I paint; simple shapes, bright, new colors, and a knowledge of themselves that often gets lost as they age. As a kid I knew my place in the world and didn’t care about my place in history. I’d like the simplicity of that life back. I love old things…. from my 17 year old dog to my 51 year old truck, from jazz to boxing; the ingrained narrative of things that have withstood time. I don’t buy into the concern for celebrity that plagues the modern digital age. I long for the days when people spent more time on porches with neighbors and less time in front of screens. I graduated with a degree in art from The University of Georgia and spent years chasing other careers; from sales to firefighting. Fourteen years later, after a serious injury, I found myself picking up art again. I now create art full time, and live in Chattanooga, TN with my wife and a herd of elderly animals.
