"Pinup" 24" x 30" Original Acrylic on Canvas, 2014


PINUP
by Julio CR, an original 24" x 30" Painting
 Acrylic on Canvas  - 2014



Slated for demolition in 2014, Asbury Lanes is another town classic.  A vintage bowling joint, it doubles as a live music, burlesque and art venue complete with bar and greasy spoon.  The lanes double as center stage and dance floor, when the likes of Wanda Jackson, the Queen of Rockabilly are in town.  PINUP, by Julio C.R. captures the essence of this place, with its dulling shine, and rust dripping front sign, the alley has seen better days.  The sky in this painting is a solid blue, representing the shiny and bold, but slightly conformist new development in Asbury.  PINUP is a reminder for us to keep the spirit of the old when we build the shiny new, or the character that made this city great will be lost.

A limited number of reproduction canvases and digital prints will be available in summer 2014. Please contact us for further details.
