Jason Sharp | Good Samaritan

All proceeds collected from the final sale of this painting will be distributed to the Sharp Family fund established at Bank Independent, Decatur AL. This original oil painting created by artist, Mary Reed was inspired by an almost metaphysical event surrounding the death of Jason Sharp. The TV at the bar near where Jason worked at Mellow Mushroom stopped working earlier last week and a floating Samsung graphic had been the only visible image. Thursday the TV came on and had a purple background with a man sitting on a rocket-shaped chili pepper with fire coming from the back appeared on the screen. The image stayed in place and made the social media rounds and then Friday the TV resumed working again. Painting Dimensions- 12"x36"

Since the opening in 2003, the vision of the Carnegie Visual Arts Center in Decatur, Alabama, has been to provide educational and cultural opportunities to the community. Through our programs, collections, and events, we want to encourage a greater involvement in art at all levels and ages. Not only do we want our visitors and students to enjoy the visual art they view here at the Carnegie, but we also want them to leave with new and innovative knowledge they can share with the community.
