Artist's Comments
Acrylic on Canvas, 30" x 60" (2.5' X 5' )
Status: Available This one was on my to do list for a while. It's a real place, though I'm sure "Heroin Alley" is not the municipal name. The actual alley is right at the start of Vancouver's downtown east side between Hastings and Pender at Cambie, looking towards Vancouver onto Victory Square. It is where a lot of addicts go to shoot up. Drugs are a real problem in the DTES. Aesthetically, I always liked the contrast of the red bricks against the green belt and the dramatic lighting in my flukey source photo. The composition seemed kind of symbolic: dark alley looking onto the light, tunnel through to greener landscapes, yada yada. There's a metaphor for surviving or for overcoming stuff. It's still hopeful. As for the whole picture, I can kind of see an anguished face in the building itself. I've been told these tall vertical paintings are less saleable (not to mention kind of difficult to view online), but this one just had to be door-sized. So there you have it. |

See enough horror and experience enough pain and you become separated from your self.

An artist must create as often as possible. To cease this task is, to the soul of an artist, as ceasing to breathe.

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
You are the guy who'll decide where to go
