Tacos vs Burritos Print

This painting was inspired by the Tacos vs Burritos – El Luchador restaurant at the corner of John Street and South Street in Lower Manhattan. Set at night, the scene is lit by spot lights, string lights, and neon lights, casting green, orange, and red light, respectively, contrasting the sky-blue interiors. The figures are in four separate spaces – the trailer, outdoors, and two rooms inside the restaurant. The woman’s face just to the right of the trailer seems to be lit by the reflection off the arrow sign. The El Luchador (wrestler) logo is repeated four times – as cut-outs on the railing, brightly lit on the wall, and in shadow on the sign.
