| Wall 8 (Guanabo, Havana 2003)
Dimensions: 20 x 20.9" (50.8 x 53.8cm)
Edition: A print of this image is available as part of an archival media, numbered & signed limited edition of 12. Each print is made with archival inks on archival paper. Prints #1-4 are $450.
About: Guanabo Beach is 15 to 20 miles east of Havana... its a lovely wide white sand beach and must have been popular before the Revolution. The road just ended at the edge of the beach. As I was taking it in, I saw a large abandoned pre-revolution pink building at the edge of the beach in a grove of palms 60 or so meters from road. It must have been a large bar-restaurant, dance hall, and as I walked around this interior wall was visible from outside; I was intrigued because 'it', this painting seemed so intentional and yet there was no surviving pictorial element; although now that I think about it, based on the 2 primary colors blue and yellow, it was probably a simple trompe l'oeil of sand and sea in colorful squarish ‘frame’ painted on what was once a rose pink wall.

About: I found this odd image in an old, unchanged, heavily trafficked section of Ciudad del Rio, on a street where 18 wheelers park.
