Wywnood Art Walk: APL & Framed Red Handed 

Framed Red Handed was a performance piece amidst a live painting session.

A commentary on the artist's feelings about the increasing suicide rates of gay teens in the US, reported at that time, in 2012.

​

The artist framed himself inside of the stretcher bar with hands painted in crimson paint. He left an imprint of his red hands across the canvas.

A Red light held inside his mouth would shoot light out at his work and passersby. Leaning into the stretcher bar, in a sacrificial posture against the wall, staring into a graphic copy of his eyes.

​

The artist moved in and out of his character, Glamdrew RichArt, an androgynous artist rock star. One large and two small paintings were accomplished at the Wynwood Art Walk, The Wynwood Arts District, in Miami, FL.
