"Naboo", 2011, oil/baltic birch, 24"-28" by Marc Salz. I got the title from watching the "Star Wars" movie series with my grandson Sammy. The planet Naboo intrigued me. It was a planet where art and architecture were highly regarded. This painting and the following two were part of eight of my paintings featured in a group show titled "REAL ABSTRACT" at the Hopkins House Gallery of Contemporary Art in Haddon Township, New Jersey (May 21-June 25, 2011).

“Space Walkers” , 2010, oil/baltic birch, 24"-28".

"Pipe Dreams", 2010, oil/baltic birch, 18"-28". The painting is related to that scene in Jacques Tati’s “Mon Oncle” as Mr.Hulot visits a plastics tubing factory when the main conveyer turns out irregular tubes some parts with more air in them than others. Great movie and director. This work is from the “Science Frictions” series.

"Star Child”(for George Crumb), 2002, oil on baltic birch,18"-15". From the series “Other Languages”(2001-2005). For composer George Crumb.
