THE PRIDE OF ASBURY
by Julio CR, an original 24" x 30" Painting
Acrylic on Canvas - 2014
Critical to the success of Asbury's renaissance has been the influx of gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans men and women since the mid 1990s. The businesses opened by and for LGBT Asburians include Cameo Bar, Geogies, Paradise at the Empress, The Tides, The Kissing Booth, and the Chat & Nibble. Each is reflected in this original work, carefully detailed in the letters of Asbury, while beach scenes with actual Asbury residents are depicted in the letters of Park. This work, deriviative of the Bruce Springsteen Album cover, will endure as a classic Asbury image for years to come. Postcards, posters, and canvas reproductions, will make wonderful mementos for every gay stay in this fair city.
A limited number of reproduction canvases and digital prints will be available in summer 2014. Please contact us for further details.
