Canvas is gessa with stretcher bars; signed by Louis Carreon on bottom right corner. Louis Carreon's career as an artist began in the late 80's, a young kid growing up in Long Beach using graffiti as his form of rebellion. But the legendary scenester and party boy is not just an artist-he's a Renaissance Man. He started partying and hanging around young Hollywood, which led him to serious drug addiction and a two-year stint in prison. It was in prison that Carreon turned his life around and his artwork transformed. His works became a sort of "before and after" reflection of his life, with messages about drugs, sex and rock 'n' roll. And the future of Louis Carreon seems brighter than his artwork. His newest collection features paintings filled with bold messages splattered across contrasting canvases of neon pinks, yellows, grays and blacks. This one-of-a-kind painting is valued at over $6,000 dollars and combines Carreon's signature use of stenciling, hand-painting, and spray paint. Style up your crib with this street cool meets Hollywood luxury! Louis Carreon's art is bold, emotional and vivid, much like his colorful past and journey to becoming one of LA's most sought after artists. 6000.0 0.0 1000.0 25.0 0 Apr 15, 2009 08:00 EST May 6, 2009 08:10 EST None http://cerberus.charitybuzz.com/images/auction_catalog/910086_thumb.jpg http://cerberus.charitybuzz.com/images/auction_catalog/910086_detail_1.jpg
