"THE KILLER" Print

"THE KILLER" is one in my "Underground" series of NYC subway images, done in a non-traditional watercolor technique on Arches archival 100% cotton rag. I wanted to paint urban landscape, but something more unusual than buildings and bridges. Then I realized: What could be more New York than the subway? In the Underground series I try to simplify complex human and station architecture into ragged shapes of light and dark, illuminated by the fractured light of speeding trains. The series explores the rushed, off-balance feeling evoked by traveling in a confined subterranean space -- simultaneously mundane yet vaguely menacing. My original photo was simply a man in a fedora boarding a train...rather boring except for the lighting. I began to fantasize about who he could be and where he was going: perhaps a low-level made man going to collect a gambling debt? Or is the man in the shadows trailing him...? Joan Iaconetti’s award-winning watercolors have had several solo exhibits in New York City. Her “Underground” series was featured in the October 2015 issue of Watercolor Artist Magazine. https://tinyurl.com/y964fop4 Gallery . . www.joaniaconetti.com Classes . .www.watercolor.joanweb.com
