This portrait is an early work of Paul Spina, before he developed his signature Good and Plenty candy series. It reflects his childhood in Brooklyn, New York in a working class neighborhood. That would have been the late 1930s to the 1960s. His identification with this group of people, which never left him, was most outwardly expressed in these paintings. Sometimes they were of real individuals, but sometimes they were a composite. He painted… from his neighborhood, his family. Some of the portraits are of rural workers that he met as he traveled to Maine.
Living in New York City at the height of abstract expressionism, Paul was very much influenced by their style. These early works are the closest he came to that very expressive use of the brush. But as you can see, he rarely went into pure abstraction.
In his later, mature career, he abandoned the monochromatic, somber palette for the joy and exuberance of the candy series.
Manhattan artist Paul Spina (1937-2017) was a masterful painter and visual artist with a BFA from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. He drew on a rich background steeped in both commercial illustration and fine art exhibitions across major American cities. He employed strong draftsmanship, vivid color, dramatic perspective, expressive line, and found objects, blending influences from Rembrandt to Pollock—his work bursts with movement and biting visual harmony, often overlaying personal iconography. His paintings channel intense emotion and personal history, inviting viewers to experience the complexity of joy, loss, and outrage, and challenging them to confront complacency and the darker truths lurking beneath society’s surface.
