Trained at The Art Institute of Philadelphia and The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts George has been painting for over 23 years, producing an enormous body of work much of which was never documented.. Traveling the country on his motorcycle for the same amount of time he has never acknowledged the protocol usually mandated by the mainstream “art world”.
Gaining recognition through publications such as THE HORSE BACKSTREET CHOPPERS, OL’ SKOOL RODZ and others, interest has developed in his independent work as well as private commissions. Focusing on Impressionistic Realism in portraiture and figurative art his work is in collections across the U.S. and abroad.
Working as a staff writer for THE HORSE BACKSTREET CHOPPERS and being their “unofficial” artist he has become a recognizable figure in the underground motorcycle culture. Using this he has been able to bypass the usual gallery representation and offer his talent directly to the client.
Using his “low level cult status” he has been able to sell his work publicly as well as through private commissions. Either by “word of mouth” or by publication his work has been gaining national recognition over the last few years.
Located in the Sun Valley of Arizona George produces work from images gathered from the months spent every year riding his motorcycle all over the U.S. Whether they are for his own work or for contracted private commissions, the images and paintings are completely generated by George himself. From photography to final painting, George takes the time to accurately perform each step of the process so that the final image will be an accurate representation of the subject which insures the satisfaction of the client but more importantly himself.
Prices start at $3500 for a private commission and may go higher depending on the complexity of the image and travel to your location. Quotes and availability of his own work may be obtained via e-mail. Of course pricing will always vary so don’t be intimidated in contacting him for a quote or to discuss your project.
