Carl Vant — New York City
Finished
Carl Vant · Acrylic on canvas
About the painting
A rainy evening in Manhattan, like a still pulled from an old reel. The Empire State Building glows above a grey skyline while yellow taxis crowd the wet street below.
Almost the whole canvas is painted in black, white and grey, so the only real colour comes from the taxis and the reflections of their lights on the asphalt.
