After spending nearly 30years as a Marketing Executive for some of the biggest consumer and automotive brands while harboring an itch to scratch as a professional artist, Gary Schechner broke through as a fine artist and designer in 2019 right here in Chicago via an inclusion in the exclusive Line Dot Editions’ juried competition.

Starting with turning his love of cars and motorcycles – a lifelong passion – into a lifestyle brand he calls abstractRPM   He’s reimagined the most visceral experience of owning and operating beautiful and fast machinery via their brand identities, gauges, lines, and shapes with minimalist / ‘if you know, you know’ winks. Normally only available in activewear, it’s now available for the first time, here at Rev Billy’s on canvas.

Ever the ‘underachiever’ and not satisfied with simply developing a mastery in the digital realm, his ‘weapons of mass creation’ also include acrylic paint applied through brush and palette knife to deliver bright, high-energy, abstract canvas and wood panel paintings that gravitate in the blues and yellows from his home in Southern California. This is his 2nd show for his abstract paintings.
