Abandoned City

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.
