Sunshine of my life
"Sunshine of My Life" is Paul Kostabi's intimate tribute to a memorable East Village muse known simply as Sunshine—a free spirit who enlivened New York City street culture in the 1980s. Known for her inherent charm, Sunshine would skate through the neighborhood's cobblestone streets on a single roller skate, her laughter echoing off the brownstones. In Kostabi's portrayal, Sunshine is not just a character, but an ethos; her essence is captured in the bold colors and anarchic symbols scattered across the canvas. Her infectious energy and whimsical defiance of convention are immortalized in this piece, a canvas that thrives on the wild, untamed joy she brought to those she encountered. With "Sunshine of My Life," Kostabi distills a piece of the East Village's soul, embodying an era in which the extraordinary found its place amidst the everyday.
