Rockers and Posers Show

After attending the opening of Rockers and Posers at Brooklyn Artists Gym I was really impressed by some of the pieces there. Here is my oil on canvas that was in the show.

Lincoln

I made this piece by painting the abstraction first. I did several paintings like that as an exercise. It wasn't my initial intention to draw the heads in but I tried it weeks later while looking for a way to combine abstraction and representational imagery.

This is the piece that was included in the Brooklyn Artist's Gym show in September.
