Title:RON "ROMAN" PASTUCHA Modernist Surrealist oil & Mixed Media Amusement Park Scene

Description:RON "ROMAN" PASTUCHA. The artist's work was featured in the movie "Titanic" and others see biography for more. We have a very interesting original painting: "The Price of Admission" Amusement Park Scene with Surrealist Figure on the right side, ticket booth, carousel, tents, and an upside down car in the front of the painting, 36" x 48" oil and/or mixed media on canvas laid over masonite, signed upside down in the overturned car: Ron Pastucha and below the artist's signature the words Spark Plugs. The painting says "The Price of Admission" on the back and also Cape Fear NC on the back stretchers. Unframed. The painting will pack up very large and the price from fedex goes way up when dimensions are 40" x 50" or more when packed up and this will exceed that limit when packed. Ships for $450.00 to 48 states only. No Alaska or Hawaii. If you live in the Los Angeles area and can pick up or meet me you can save the freight. Make sure it will fit in your vehicle if you want to pick up. The artist's work has an online site and here is one piece that is sold that had an asking price of $8500, a 36" x 24" painting entitled Badlands. See photograph 12 as comparison. Condition: Has edge wear and a few pits. Canvas is laid over masonite. The canvas textures and bumps are natural to the piece. Canvas has some threads on the back. Masonite has a horizontal crease or overlap line on the lower back which does not affect the front of the painting in any way.
