New York is an American city which has the greatest number of inhabitants. This city triggers a global influence. It is among the world's largest hotbeds for trade, art, finance, fashion, media, tourism, entertainment, and research. It is a must-see and unforgettable place! 

In terms of art, New York is one of the most inspiring cities for artists around the world. Since the 20th century, New York has played the leading role in culture in the United States. This culture is abundant, cosmopolitan, and eclectic. At the beginning of the twentieth century, this city quickly turned into a place of artistic creation (painting, photography, cinema, urban art, music...) and literature. New genres emerge in New York, such as abstract expressionism, pop art, graffiti in the Harlem neighborhood and street culture..

More than 2,000 arts and cultural organizations are hosted in New York each year and there are more than 500 art galleries.

New York paintings have redefined the rules of urban views painting. Painting a picture of New York has become inseparable from paintings of urban landscapes. It is impossible to miss out on the famous aerial views of New York, its legendary long boulevards, yellow taxis, the pedestrian crowds, the fiery traffic and its peculiar architecture. Do you like city view painting? Well, you definitely need a New York painting!

The current interest of such a painting is to represent an atmosphere, an ambience which is specific to the city of New York. By creating a painting in which buildings, vehicles and pedestrians are closely related, you immediately feel transported to this city and these neighborhoods, where one never sleeps.  These paintings are genuine tributes to this wonderful city, irreplaceable and the almost fantastic equals New York. One never gets bored!

 

American painting is rich and diverse. Since the 20th century, many artistic and pictorial currents have crossed the United States and New York. Abstract expressionism emerged here, just like Pop art carried by the famous Andy Warhol. Minimalism, which isn’t as famous, also originated in the artistic hotbeds of the United States, and New York takes the lead. After the 1980s, American painting became difficult to decipher and classify, as it was so abundant. Many styles are combined: ranging from hyperrealism to neo-expressionism, not to mention, lyrical abstraction, conceptual art, minimalism, and free figuration. In New York, something known as "bad painting" developed more particularly, which borrows most of its codes from street art (stencils, graffiti, street posters, etc.) and from American counterculture. When one needs to qualify these varied and changing styles, one doesn’t hesitate to speak about painting of postmodernity.

Regardless of the case, most artists who are sensitive to New York City do not hesitate to pay tribute to it, by using it as a reference or by representing the city in their paintings.
