Painted in 2014 for a group show at LaRouche Gallery in Montreal, the van originated from Williamsburg Brooklyn, on Hooper Street. Drawn to the unusual color and strips of the van, and the juxtaposition of the clean exterior and the scratches & dings that gave the vehicle its true character, Hooper lives on in this piece, but has yet to be seen again on the streets.
