“Skyscrapers” transforms urban space into a set of planes, facades, passages, and colored rhythms. Axes, blocks, and relationships between planes give the composition a true framework. The muted tones lend the whole a restrained density and bring out the nuances of the paint surface.

The gesture remains legible in the directions, the overlaps, and the shifts of the paint. A few offsets in the planes are enough to create depth without resorting to descriptive perspective. Some forms remain deliberately indeterminate and preserve a measure of mystery. The subject remains a point of anchoring, but the painting retains enough autonomy to allow for several levels of reading.
