1979 Mythic Achilles

Painting before my first Gallery shows in 1984.




In the later seventies, Jean Michel Basquiat's subconscious grafitti and Keith Haring's negative positive drawing were highly visible on every street corner in downtown.





Severe Richard Serra sculpture was on Franklin St and at the Rotary near the Tunnel. Frank Stella was making his Painted Birds and Julian Schnabel was making a splash.











There was a lot of downtown painting like Ron Gorchov and Thorton Willis, seen maybe at Magoo's Bar, or in lots of shows beginning to happen around Soho.


I went back and forth between abstract and figurative camps for a while till I realized I could combine the two.
