One of the 15 pieces
I painted in 1992 for the Frieze Ice cream shop
on Lincoln Road Mall, Miami Beach.
Story:
Those
who knew South Beach in the glorious pioneers years
would remember my first decorative work, the Wet
Paint Cafe, on Lincoln Road Mall. That were I met
Chef Michael B, a carpenter-writer-new Miami cuisine
innovator and most of all a dedicated New Yorker.
In 1993, he dished out this delightful poetry for
my painting "moon spoon":
Single Scoop Silver Spoon Moon
Emanating
sweet coolness, a rich silver moon rests gently
on a silver service dish as eager silver spoons
orbit in anticipation of unearthly delights. Pierre
Marcel's surrealistic vision conjures images as
close and palatable as a cool scoop of ice cream
on a hot summer afternoon, yet as distant and untouchable
as heavenly bodies. Why did we ever think it was
made of cheese?
