Modern Art NYC Collage

Melanie Viola

Art Analysis

From the artist, Melanie Viola

A modern and decorative New York City composing. A typical Manhattan street scene at Times Square and Brooklyn Bridge surroundings.

Yellow cars and stone towers

This collage brings together two distinct parts of the city into one view. The eye begins with a large yellow car in the lower left foreground, then follows a line of smaller cars that shrink as they move toward the center. On the right, a tall stone bridge tower with thick cables stretches from the bottom to the top of the frame. These solid elements sit against a background of semi-transparent buildings and street signs that overlap one another. The entire scene is contained within a white border.

The colors are mostly restricted to black, white, and gray, which makes the bright yellow-orange of the cars stand out. Dark splatters and heavy black brushstrokes are layered over the buildings and the bridge, breaking up the straight lines of the architecture. While the artist identifies the setting as Times Square and the Brooklyn Bridge area, the shapes of the signs and logos in the distance remain blurred and cannot be read.
