Portrait of Martin Wong (1998)

Martin painted the LES ghetto with the most enigmatic realism of bricks to be seen. In 1992 Martin Wong invited Charlie Ahearn up to his Ridge St apartment as he began his autobiographical Chinatown series reflecting his youth in San Francisco and later New York. After he was diagnosed HIV he returned to SF where he later passed away in 1999.
