“Atomic Muscle“ Painting
United States
Painting, Oil on Canvas
Size: 40 W x 30 H x 2 D in

About The Artwork
The painting is a portrait of the guileless youth, Joey Gay, in his first year after leaving the soybean fields along the Pea Ridge of Dearing, Georgia; for the bright lights of Hollywood and the world of atomic muscle (the image is inspired by a photograph taken by an Emmy winning artist who befriended the lad). The piece attempts to preserve innocence despite his predatory environs. He is at once in Hollywood but not of Hollywood, just as Hockney discovered, a generation earlier. If the viewer feels compelled at least in part, to protect the boy, the viewer gets it.

United States
I am an Italian American artist working currently out of a beach studio in Madeira Beach, Florida. I have worked in New York and Los Angeles in the past and maintain contacts in Boston, Washington, New York, Houston, San Francisco and Los Angeles. I believe there is nothing more powerful than human emotions and nothing more beautiful than the human form. I love the tension between everyday people and media celebrity. I seek truth and expect to find it in the faces I study and the people I paint.
