"SPECTRUM OF INNOCENCE"
Acrylic
“Reflecting upon my childhood in Oakland, I recalled many urban scenes that were painted on buildings — artwork that conveyed social messages, as well as other works that simply displayed the imagination of tremendously talented artists whom most I will never meet. My creative juices were sparked, leading me to study urban artists of the past as well as up-and-coming artists of today. Desiring to pay homage to these brilliant painters gave birth to this “Pop Fusion Art” series, a new form of artistic interpretation that brought me back to my days in Berkeley.” — JAY JOHANSEN
