"T.R.O.G. 42" Gentlemen's Race
The Gentlemen's Race is the most beautiful car show in the world and my one of my favorite subjects to paint. Rugged, bearded men. Powerful hot rods and motorcycles. Leather jackets. Tattoos. The roar of engines. The setting sun and the sound of the surf in Wildwood, New Jersey.
The painting depicts a classic style car speeding down a deserted road. The driver, dressed in a pink shirt and helmet, looks full of determination and speed. A beautiful abstract play of colors flares up in the background: soft orange, gray and black give the picture dynamics and a sense of movement. The image conveys an atmosphere of freedom and adrenaline, combining retro and modern elements.
