Each of Gary Armer's original oil paintings are unique, one of a kind creations, rendered in immaculate detail with the painterly brush strokes of an old master. Gary's work explores the fine line between passion and obsession, enchantment and preoccupation, touching on themes of nostalgia and sentimentality, as well as mass production, and commoditization. This piece, Is It Fast Enough So We Can Fly Away?, from the series Halcyon Heroes, depicts a vintage model of a race car, a once ubiquitous toy, rendered here complete with scratches and scuffs, undoubtedly from numerous crashes.
