About the Painting : In his late 20's, the six foot 4 inch statesman was a professional river boat stevedore and amateur wrestler of great repute, only suffering one recorded loss. Lincolns democratic demeanor would not allow him to decline a match with a black opponent, or to let him win.

Van Arno has shown extensively throughout the US and Canada as well as internationally. His work was featured at the Hollywood Art and Culture Center along side Mark Ryden, Chaz Bojorquez, Kenny Scharf, Anthony Ausgang and other great artists. He has been featured several times in Juxtapoz magazine and is considered a pioneer of the lowbrow art movement. Van continues to push the human form into more and more extreme postures, causing him to name his painting style Uber-Mannerism. His ongoing fascination with the imagery of religion and its use of the heroic figure found new relevance recently, as American 'values' were re-examined at home and abroad. Although he has been exploring non-narrative themes recently, his focus remains on the figure and it's power to engage the viewer.
