Cinematic

This collection looks to the language of cinema—its icons, its stills, its unforgettable frames. These paintings are shaped by the imagery we’ve absorbed through film: from Marilyn’s luminous presence to Robbie the Robot’s gleaming futurism. They carry the nostalgia of a shared visual memory, where characters become archetypes and moments become myth.

Marilyn Allongé

40” x 56”, Acrylic, collage on canvas, 2025

Marilyn reclines in her red dress, satin gloves trailing across the carpet, a single playing card held loosely in her hand. The scene feels intimate yet staged, a moment just after the performance ends. There’s a question in her posture—what is revealed, and what remains untold—an icon caught between allure and secrecy.

Buck’s Bar

54” x 34”, Acrylic on canvas, 2024

Bucks Bar draws from the iconic “Hey Big Spender” scene in Sweet Charity—a lineup of women poised between performance and pause. Their expressions hold wit, resignation, seduction, and solidarity all at once. It’s a tableau of glamour edged with weariness, the moment before the music starts again.

Go Robot!

30” x 40”, Acrylic & spray paint on canvas, 2022

Go Robot! riffs on the pop mythology of Forbidden Planet—Robby the Robot and Anne Francis reimagined in neon, splashed color, and graffiti-like drips. The painting pushes the vintage sci-fi glamour into something more electric and streetwise, where innocence and spectacle meet punk exuberance. It’s nostalgia with voltage, a wink to the past delivered at full volume.
