Piece description from the artist
New York at night always excites me. I love the billboards that are bigger than the largest movie screen imaginable with dizzying colors and images that constantly change. I remember Times Square before it became gentrified, in the old days. Times Square was a gritty place, you could find out-of-work actors in a cafeteria kibitzing over a free glass of seltzer for hours. There were places like The Brill Building where acts rehearsed in the hallways. and of course, there were the strip joints that gave Times Square a bad reputation. The lights were not as bright but it was filled with creativity.
