Original artwork description:

This artwork transports viewers into a world where the cacophony of modern life meets the artistry of abstraction.

The canvas itself serves as a foundation and resembles a weathered concrete wall.

On this textured background, a series of small bars appear, carefully layered and saturated with bright, contrasting colors, in a burst of energy and movement. Each bar tells its own story, a snapshot of the dynamics of the city - the busy cabs, the swarms of pedestrians, the neon signs and the bustle of life.

The contrast of the rough, industrial concrete background with the small, colorful bars creates a visual tension that reflects the push and pull of daily existence in a bustling city. The bars seem to dance across the canvas, intersecting and colliding, creating a sense of controlled chaos that mirrors the ebb and flow of rush-hour traffic. They are not bounded by boundaries or rules, just like the urban sprawl they represent.

Materials used:

Acrylic paint, heavy gel, pastel, pencil
