#death149

New Canvasses coming soon... Get them before they’re gone!!!

The artist used both traditional paintbrushes and airbrushes were used to create this piece. The artist wanted to paint a point of struggle with this piece and capture Iron Man in a vulnerable state. This piece is a real stand out painting for Freddie Venezia as it very intentionally plays with a limited pallet.

Freddie Death149 Venezia... Need I say more!?!

Graff Mitzvah... From the subways to the parties!!! Genuine graffiti writer turned event artist for your Mitzvah or event. Freddie the Artist of AirbrushPartyFavors.com will rock your party.

This painting was created in front of a live audience at the artist's solo show in Hollywood Florida with acrylic paints and traditional paintbrushes. This piece is different than any piece currently for sale by the artist in many ways. Freddie regularly fuses subway art and superheroes, but this piece approaches the subject matter from a different angle. Absent, is the highly referenced rendering of iconic individuals, stylized to paint the characters in a different light than accustomed. This painting is of a relatively unknown Abin Sur, from an obscure 1959 Green Lantern book. Abin perished in that appearance but only after creating the Green Lantern. Freddie continues to breaks his pattern by painting a postmortem bust of Abin Sur, purely from memory and infusing traits of his graffiti "mugs", a highly unusual thing for this artist. Freddie felt free to take artistic Licence with Abin only because of his obscurity. As important to the DC universe as Sur is, even many superhero fans would be at a loss if only shown his face due to his lack of appearances since his 1959 debut. He did however make an appearance recently in the Green Lantern movie of 2011. It is highly likely, you will never see another painting of Abin Sur and even if you do, it will not be as unique as this one.

This painting was created 100% with traditional paintbrushes. Neal Adams was the inspiration for this piece. Even vent though it is entitled Dark Knight which is a far more violent chapter in Batman’s story.  The artist resurrects a less gritty Batman of the 60s and 70s when political consciousness was creeping its way into DC comics. This was a poignant time in the artists life when politics were new to him and these stories helped shape his early politics.

Both traditional paintbrushes and airbrushes were used to create this piece. The painting signifies the death of The gritty New York City of the artist's youth and sterile gentrified version taking its place. It exemplifies everything creative and unique to NYC being replaced by white washed big box corporate Americana. The artist is getting ready to incorporate more Graffiti into some of his upcoming superhero paintings.

This piece was created for a type of art competition known in the graffiti world as a "battle". It was a battle among peers in the group or crew known as NYK or "New York Kings"... It won the battle. Because it was created for a battle, this piece is armed to the teeth, and affirms the artist's commitment to succeed or die trying. Failure was not an option. While Super Smend took Freddie's evolution a step further by reintroducing superheroes into hiss work, if not for this piece reuniting Freddie with his Graffiti roots none of the work to follow would have happened.
