Abandoned City
Beaten and peaceful visions of an aftermath
While living in the city and studying painting at the San Francisco Art Institute, the artist fell under the spell of the Bay Area Figurative Movement. A series of paintings emerged informed by the unique rolling architecture and crisp ocean air of San Francisco. This series, takes as its subject, the iconic Victorian row houses and time-worn shops as desolote, devoid of human life…existing in a poetic, decaying, scraped, scarred—hollowed out dream stage. Just as the artist encountered it while walking the midnight streets of his Nob Hill neigborhood.
