Piece description from the artist
Since opening in 1914, the Apollo Theater in Harlem has played a major role in the emergence of jazz, swing, bebop, R&B, gospel, blues, and soul in the United States.
NYC culture is undeniably connected to its showbiz and music scene. The Apollo Theater in Harlem is the ultimate representation for much of NYC music's history and happenings. It embodies the ups and downs that are part of living in NYC with a rich history of successions of launched superstar performers’ careers mingling with starry-eyed amateurs’ hopes and dreams. In my paintings, I highlight the sense of the rawness that is part of the showbiz world and the way time stands still for those who hang on to a dream and drive it forward.
