    A friend found this in a storage unit he won at a auction & sold it to me for $50.
    He couldn't find the artist & a image search + googling the name came up with no results.
    The painting is big (42" x 42") & looks like it has a varnish over it that makes it darker ( 2 pics in sunlight show how bright colors seem compared to 1 photo taken inside?
    Any idea on the artist?
    Any thoughts on the painting?
    Thank you & happy 4th of July!
    PS - president trump announced that he was going celebrate the U.S. 250th anniversary by holding a big UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) match on the white house lawn! (Sorry, just had to vent!)

    The signs in background are in English, however, and the headwraps don't appear to be part of Haitian traditional costume.

    Think it could be him? The J looks similar, right?

    Well it definitely is colourful and a busy image..I don’t know what that guy with the buttocks is doing. But it certainly doesn’t seem like something you should be doing in a crowd.

    Just as a matter of intrest, just noted the different coloured stars on the clothing of some of the people,some red ,some blue some green also.Seems very strange.Could it be a version of (finding Wally)?

    I didnt think of the different colors but I did notice the stars.
    Is this a good piece ? I think so & wonder why I can't find anything on the artist?!
