This is an original mixed media painting by "Tazz." It is titled, "Buddha Rock."

The measurements are 15" X12.25 ." framed.

The painting depicts a Buddha standing on top of a giant statue, singing and playing the guitar. There is a large choir or monks singing in the background.

The frame is wood, totally crafted by the Artist. The painting is done on board. The backing,(also done by Tazz), is done in beautiful paper, which has been painted.

As the original founder/owner of Buffalo Chips, originally located in the hip Soho neighborhood of New York City, this artist has designed clothing, art, jewelry and more for celebrities from all areas of the entertainment and business world.

Billy Bob Thornton, Julia Roberts, Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Springsteen, are among his clientele, (just to name a few).

Tazz is considered an outsider artist, as he has no formal art training. He is multi-faceted in his talents and abilities. In addition to painting, he is a highly skilled carpenter, craftsman and successful clothing, jewelry, accessories, boot and interior designer. The label, "Renaissance Man," has been used to describe him.

He has had art shows on both coasts, in Las Vegas and New York City.

His designs have been featured in major fashion magazines in both the United States & Europe, including Elle, Vogue, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, Architectural Digest and more.

Tazz has created his own process for painting, involving mixed media. It evolved from interior renovation work that he was doing, (creating a special finish for the walls), that precisely duplicated the aging walls of the old villas of Tuscany, which inspired him.

Being environmentally conscious, the beautiful frames, mattes and backings that Tazz creates for each painting, utilize recycled materials.

Each custom frame is a work of art itself.

The Artist also adds sarcastic humor to much of his subject matter and often his titles.

Each piece is painstakingly hand burnished and requires many hours of work.

Tazz prepares his canvas or board by covering it with his special concoction. He never has a preconceived idea of what the painting will be.

After hours, days, or weeks of scrutinization, the image appears before him, in the crevices that appear. He then proceeds to add all of the details, down to the most minuscule.

Touching of Tazz's paintings is encouraged. They feel great, due to the hand burnishing.

Thank you for your interest!

Have a great day!
