Description:

This piece is another example of Gideon's many techniques. The paint is almost 2 inches thick in places, applied with strength and confidence. Gideon never does a bad painting.  He never deserts a piece because he doesn't know what to do next or when to stop.  He can execute his inspiration and ideas because he has total mastery over his materials and application. 

"I'm the boss when it comes to my work. I don't let it control me." - Gideon 

What a better piece than this to represent the power of New York City.
