TURNS OUT . . . <\/strong> I was<\/strong> hesitant to put words into (Tibetan Buddhist) thought clouds, re the title of the Show, ‘Bad Luck Tiger’ – when I first considered writing up this striking show, so<\/strong> I thought I’d be – just a little bit ‘cavalier’, to lighten the gray overcast day – and, look on the bright side of Bad Luck, stressing how wonderful it was – that such a young and talented, (Chinese-American) artist, based in L.A. & whose works speak to ‘real issues’ . . had found<\/strong> his way into Will’s heart, & thus took a bite out of the Big Apple art scene – along the way.<\/p>\n sadly, sadly my fear & premonitions<\/strong> – came to strange evil fruition.<\/p>\n a vibrant, beautiful, 40 year-old Professional Chinese-American woman, with a whole lot of life before her, a whole lot of living and promise ahead of her – was shoved to her death \/ into the path of an oncoming subway train, at Times Square station – by a seriously deranged, mentally ill, homeless (African-American), and very evil man, who said according to the media, something like: “I can do it – I’m God.”<\/p>\n note:<\/strong> the enchanting ‘mosaic tile’ \/ New Year’s Eve themed \/ mural artworks in the city’s large traffic hub, the Times Square Subway Station \/. . greatly beloved by people from all walks of life – for its somewhat gritty, but delightful depiction of true-life \/ Big Apple street culture – are by 1980’s Lower East Side artist . . JANE DICKSON.<\/strong><\/p>\n those who know her work from the early days, including myself – are totally captivated by how her usual medium of dark velvety oil pastel – translated so well into the colored bits of tile, especially as her usual pictorial backgrounds are deeply dark, and stormy – and here in the rumbling MTA station – they come to life . . amazingly !!
