STREETLIGHT
'Street Light' continued my exploration of the city at night, zooming in from outer space in the 'Cities at Night' series to street level. The city is a complex organism, with the streets its veins and arteries. Street level is where we interact with the city, how we move through it, where we take its pulse. At night, street level is defined by artificial light: warm and inviting, or harsh and too bright. I am drawn to the evocative and illusory aspect of street light: we can only see that which is lit, it is as though everything else is simply not there.
All works were painted with palette knife and acrylic on wood panel.
