About the Item
Utilizing his love of vintage colors from his hometown in Puerto Rico, painter Sam Melendez crafts a tribute to his adopted home of St. Louis. A true St. Louis staple, Tropicana Bowling is as much a monument as the Gateway Arch. With its cheeky humor, and love of hyper-specific locality, this painting is sure to make a wonderful addition to a colorful bedroom, or well-worn sitting space. Whether you're from St. Louis or not, it is sure to bring smiles into your home.
About Sam Meléndez:
Sam Meléndez combines his love for all things vintage and bright colors from his home, Puerto Rico, in his work. Evidence of his process is an integral component of his paintings, creating an authentic personal narrative alongside the subject he depicts. For this reason, the grit that charcoal marks leave behind and the notes he makes while sketching the pieces are important to the final compositions. "I love the combination of the raw, black and white of the charcoal and bare canvas contrasted with the super bright colors I work with."
