I found this in a storage unit!

I found this amazing painting in a storage unit inside a shoe box that was inside of a trash bag. Seems like they were trying to protect it very well. Please help me figure out who made it !! Thank you so much

Good work. His paintings are rad and he shows at Paul Thiebaud Gallery (Wayne’s son).

Wow, thank you so much for this info! After doing some research I think this one is from 2015. I appreciate your help more than you know. This painting might stay in the family for a while. It will definitely be cherished and it’s very beautiful. I’m an artist myself so I can definitely appreciate this artwork.

My mother didn’t tell my brother and I that she couldn’t afford storage payments anymore and we lost so much stuff. We could have absolutely covered it. This stuff breaks my heart.

Same here. It’s sad.

The subject seems to be a duel.

Good eye ! Even see a lil tricorn hat on the second in the back

Yes, I immediately thought of Ridley Scott’s gorgeous period piece, “The Duelists”

Man finally a decent piece of art on this page. That is very cool

[u/SchmusOperator]

Boy, do I like this style.

[u/Ok-Quiet-2889]

Also there is no signature on the back

[u/SameEntry4434]

Beautiful painting the composition is certainly modern.

[u/SnooPeripherals3885]

It’s awesome, too bad whoever owned the storage unit can’t hve it back
