Max Zorin in A VIEW TO A KILL (1985)

The villain Max Zorin in A VIEW TO A KILL plans to cause global economy meltdown by destroying the silicon valley by flooding it with seawater. Him and his sidekick, the powerful May Day, are outcomes of experiments on genetically enhanced babies. The drugs however turn them in psychotic murderers. Zorin has his cooperation and his hideout is a gigantic white blimp which hovers above the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. (8" x 10" acrylic on canvas)

May Day in A VIEW TO A KILL (1985)

I've always been a huge fan of Grace Jones. Of course I must paint May Day from A VIEW TO A KILL. May Day wears many interesting leather outfits from the movie, but I was particularly attracted to this bright red dress in the horse racing scene. This is the first appearance of May Day, a genetically modified super-human. In the movie, the drugs that made her powerful also made her deadly and psychotic. The colour red is perfect in capturing her fiery character. The background is the Golden Gate Bridge which is the main back drop of the latter half of the movie. The view from the bridge was so breath-taking that caused May Day to utter the line "from a view to a kill" from the villain's lair, a blimp that belongs to the Zorin Corporation. (8" x 10" acrylic on canvas)
