“Blue Hour, New York”

244 x 122 cm | 96 x 48 in

"Blue Hour, New York" looks straight down a rain-soaked New York avenue at dusk, the Chrysler Building framed at the end of the street as traffic builds in the middle distance, its lights and those of the surrounding buildings streaking across the wet road below. The palette is built around a cool, deep blue that runs through the sky and the reflective tarmac, warmed by the amber and rust tones of the autumn trees lining the pavement and the glow of headlights and shopfronts. Painted in mixed media on boxed canvas as an original work, the tall narrow format — 72 x 24 inches — suits the composition perfectly, drawing the eye down into the depth of the city.
