This series of more than eighty acrylic on canvas paintings, produced between 1968 and 1979, presents a hyper-romanticized version of a New York City semi-industrial landscape, that pre-gentrification, went mostly unnoticed and unloved. In these reverential renderings, nondescript architectural odds and ends - prosaic remnants of an earlier time - are reconstructed and cleansed of all human reference and narrative. Each painting stands as a staged rendition of a singular experience that’s been revisited through time and perfected.
