Urban Images

A recent very urban image with dynamic colorful abstract wall art, OTGR, reflects the duality that often exists in life, the existence of beauty occurring in tandem with the gritty, here with a bold fiery red unidentified acronym dripping and splattering paint on a dirty sidewalk. I have found myself intrigued in many cities of a wall on which multiple individuals who came upon it added their own marks. Enriched by multiple episodes and layers of painted graffiti, in such instances, you sense the passage of time. In OTGR, however, we have what appears to be one wall artist and just two layers created at one point in time. The consistency of the pattern and colorful bold red and yellow swirling, intersecting, entwined, dripping broad brush strokes, although abstract, have aesthetic similarity and compatibility. I am thrilled to have received for OTGR an Honorable Mention Winner Award in international fine art color photography competition among 6,573 entries from 72 countries.
