Gotham

Giclee canvas print, varnished and framed in a gold floating frame. 29 x 43 x 1.5in.  Gotham is a study of the boundaries between structural and spiritual, presenting a city skyline as a series of bars and blocks puncturing an amorphous, moody atmosphere. The rough, cement-like texture below the buildings is a call to the "concrete jungle." The piece's overall movement from dark to light spans 3 distinct levels/planes (top, middle, bottom - which might represent the earth, the bustling city, and the ethers - but are open to interpretation), which are partially obscured behind the painting's layers. A singular teardrop "moon" casts light from its perch, inviting the viewer to consider the weight held by the city’s iconic skyline.
