HISTORIC 5TH AVENUE INK ON WATERCOLOR PAPER SHOOSTY ® 2015
Historic 5th Avenue is based on an event paying tribute to the black community of Delray Beach, Flor- ida, with its epicenter on historic 5th Avenue. After spending the prior day at the Smithsonian In- stitute Museum of African Art in Washington, D.C., I came home to South Florida and went to this early evening outdoor concert. Using the ethnic characters from the museum, I was motivated by
the pulsating music of the band and created a composite drawing merging both concepts. e result- ing master drawing developed that evening and eventually became the subject of the painting. e composition uses cubism, mirroring eªects, Egyptian ico- nography and a touch of humor in the form of e Big Lebowski’s bowling pins and ball.
