Life in the City

An oil painting on stretched canvases - a triptych- each part 50x60cm

The latest body of work am creating, is the exploration of over populated high rise living in a big city environment. The expectations of busy urbanites and their life’s aspirations, the upright climb of the social ladder or staircase to the lit door, sometimes someone waiting to receive them or trying to reach the top of the ladder through what would be a difficult journey to ultimate success in ones life.   Happy people, sad and lonely all have dreams and goals to realize in their life.   The abstraction of the build up city is relevant to the abstract energy incurred by mass living environment.

Nicely done, Mary. Thanks for the explanation, as well. It's easy to appreciate a piece for it's apparent attributes. Appreciation deepens, though, when we know more about the motivation of the artist.
