Purvis Young Framed Original Oil Painting on Vinyl

About the Item

Purvis Young, perhaps Miami's best known and most successful artist (1943-2010), observed his rough and turbulent surroundings for inspiration in his art. Using found objects and refurbished materials, his artworks are now prominently displayed in local and national galleries and museums. Collected by some of the world's most prolific collectors, this long painted wood scrap, is extremely unique and sought after. This piece is signed twice on the vinyl canvas front, it was acquired directly from artist by Gustavo Olivieri while in his Overtown studios. Gustavo Olivieri enjoyed watching him work - see detail image of them in Mr. Young's studio. Young's work, often a blend of collage and painting, utilizes found objects and the experience of African Americans in the South.
