Painted to memorialise this Chinese groceries store in my neighbourhood that housed one of the few red lanterns you can see on the main shopping street, Ocean Ave. The past year has been tough for all of us, especially the Asian American community that is facing a nationwide rise in hate crimes. To counter that I painted this as a signifier that Asian Americans are an essential part of the American culture in 2021. Inspired by NYC paintings of Edward Hopper.
