“Grand Opening, Grand Closing”  is a series of paintings focused on small historic Milwaukee storefronts in their current state.  The imagery memorializes the Milwaukee storefront in the post industrial, post retail world. For this show, 30 6”x 6” oil on wood paintings were created to continue this series of Milwaukee gems.  Displayed in a tight grid, these street views will show a sum of the parts that create our cityscapes.
