In corrodination wtih GFAA, The Gainesville Fine Arts Association, you can find Historic 5th Ave. the largest oil painting by Stephen Shooster.
Historic 5th Avenue is based on an event paying tribute to the black community of Delray, Florida, with its epicenter on Historic 5th Avenue. After spending the prior day at the Smithsonian Institute Museum of African Art in Washington, D.C., the artist came home to South Florida and went to this early evening outdoor concert. Using the ethnic characters from the museum he was motivated by the pulsating music of the band creating a composite drawing. The resulting master drawing developed that evening and eventually became the subject of the painting.
The composition uses Cubism, mirroring effects, Egyptian iconography and a touch of humor in the from of The Big Lebowski, bowling pins, and ball.
