RE: Art in NYC

in Photography Lovers2 years ago

I love when you show off the street art in one of my favorite cities for it! Admittedly, I haven't worked in NYC in years, but, in my head, I still love it.

Even though the mono mural is not popping with color, it is a powerful piece (to me) in its subdued colors. It would not have spoken quite so loudly if it was in color. The color would have overpowered the piece. In my opinion, which we all know, everyone has one of those. LOL

However, Kobra is amazing, isn't he? The mural down on 10th street - of Ghandi and Mother Theresa is one of my favorites, along with the giant mural of the kneeling fireman which I think is down on 3rd Avenue... You have to be wowed by murals like that. He paints with his soul.

The trademark geometrical colors are all his.

Thank you so much, JJ! A great post!

OHh yeah I think the art in NYC is perhaps what I miss the most and of course Central Park and my fav building the Chrysler

I agree with you on the first image the subtle colors really make it stand out

The firefighter Mural was the first one of Kobras I saw and then I had to go and see the rest of his pieces
