About The Artwork
I have been picking out figures of people on crowded subway platforms of the L line in New York City since 2012. I have noticed that most are anxiously awaiting the next train and checking their cell phones. Their minds are focused on this small device or beyond it while texting conversations with others, although their bodies are still on this mutually shared platform. It is as if the fundamental elements of our lives are altered and divided by each other and even mixed and fused together. Painters must often cope with time and space as they set their subjects on the two-dimensional medium of a canvas, similar to actors on a stage or objects in a box. However, I feel that I should apply time and space between (not in or on) people's figures on my canvas, at least for the figures I paint in New York City.
