Innocence Found. This collaboration between Dave Navarro, Hektad and I is now complete! A concept that came to me while looking at some of Hek’s newest work directly after collaborating with Dave as curator of ArtBoatNYC. Planning the basics for a few weeks, on a Friday night in March we got together for an Art Party at my studio in Brooklyn, creating this piece over the course of 8 hours. There was such a creative vibe and a sense of Brotherhood that filled the room. Good times with Rock n Roll, Pizza, Spraypaint, Exactos, Jokes and High Spirits! We reflected on how, from the concept, every step of the piece magically fell into place. The loving intention, focused creative energies and talents really shines through here. I could not be happier with this piece, Grateful as this new creative partnership evolves. This piece was done entirely in spray paint (freehand and stencil) on canvas, 24×30″ x 2″ gallery wrapped, signed with COA.
From Dave- “The Girl in the Red Coat originally from Schindler’s list, has always effected me. lost innocence in a scary environment, alone, wandering, unknowingly at death’s door. I identified with the fear and isolation and we (me, Hektad & JC) decided to bring her into the modern world as a reminder to treat each other with kindness as we were all born with this purity. Appropriated from the film, she is placed as a symbol that transcends her role in the film, and speaks to everyone wandering around and afraid in todays scary world of division. “Hey guys, we tried this division thing before, it didn’t work then and it won’t work now!”
