" ROMANCE OF INNOCENCE FROM HENCE WE CAME "
Paintings / Peintures
Exposition du vendredi 25 fevrier au 9 avril 2005
THIS SERIES OF PAINTINGS WERE INSPIRED BY THE REFLECTIONS OF A TWENTY YEAR VETERAN OF THE NEW YORK CITY CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS.
UPON HIS RETIREMENT WE SPOKE OF YEARS GONE BY.
I FELT INSPIRED TO TELL THE STORY OF MYTHICAL INMATES PAST AND PRESENT , THE ART OF THE STREETS HAS ALWAYS TOLD THE STORIES OF THE GHETTO , AS BROTHERS DO DAY FOR DAY BEHIND THE WALL, THEY LIVE A LIFE WHERE PRINCIPALS IDEALS AND MORALS ARE ALWAYS OUT OF BALANCE.
MOTHERDEAR , TUT AND SEARGANT RAMIREZ ARE JUST SOME OF THE INMATES AND CORRECTIONS OFFICERS WHOSE REPUTATIONS FOLLOWED THEM BEYOND THE WALLS OF RIKERS ISLAND.
IT IS NOT MY INTENTION TO GLORIFY THERE ESCAPADES, ONLY TO TELL THE STORY OF THE FABLES OF C76 AND THE HOUSE OF PAIN. THE GUNS CLAP, GUILTY OR VINDICATED…
ROMANCE OF INNONCENCE FROM HENCE WE CAME…
