2015 was Voltron. Vega was born in February. One month later we found ourselves in Exuma, and in July, we left Manhattan for good. The nomadic lifestyle was good to us… and, in fact, it was during our stay in Teton Village that we decided to move to ‘The End Of The Trail’.
Here’s what went down on the road (NSFW, just kidding, it’s very safe).
Manhattan inspiration found me once again… And, so, before I move to Idaho — I’d like to share my depiction of The World Famous Apollo Theater.
Through a fortuitous introduction, I met Thane Stenner in Montreal. Following a presentation about my work, process and business model — we sat down for a long talk about life and art. Little did I know, this conversation would pave the way for a long term creative engagement. Thane had a vision — a commissioned painting of Jesus, with an emphasis on the concept of radiance.
Thrilled to be featured in Claudia Martin‘s Planet Jackson Hole cover story: “The Creative Conundrum“. No. Sleep. Til’ Victor.
My quest to document the prices of artists around the world continues on Forbes. The studio pictured above belongs to Adam Turman, great artist — strong bowler.
Allow myself, to introduce, myself. I’m delighted to share the first painting of 2016… A self portrait… my first since 2010.
2015 was so huge, it took me until mid-January to post the year-in-review! The game changer? On February 5th, at 7:45AM, Vega arrived aquatically in our Manhattan living room… joining Erin, Coraline and me. One month later, she had a passport and was living in The Bahamas… we then left Manhattan, moved to Minnesota, then to Jackson Hole, and back to Minnesota…
It was a magical three months in Jackson Hole. The country was gorgeous, and inspiration ran deep. Early in our adventure, we took a trip to Teton National Park… there, I captured a moment of Coraline taking in the majestic Tetons.
I had the great honor of painting the late Kenneth Francis Begasse’s portrait. Affectionately known as “Senior”, the piece was commissioned by Michael Sanzen, partner at Concentric Healthcare Experience, as a gift for Senior’s family. The work and process were transformed into a beautiful mural, which was unveiled at their TriBeCa headquarters last week.
