Holiday Wishes in Fifth Avenue

Oil on Canvas

30 x 24 x 1.5 inches

* This painting is inspired by my original Christmas painting, but what I am looking for in this painting is more of Spirit than what see in front of me..Edward Hopper once said that he had to simplify 'great deal' to get close to what he desired for. The theory is same but different painting.

* In most recent years, Shin has dedicated his focus on New York cityscapes. The expressiveness of New York City -- its brilliant culture, vast history, and even the very streets of the metropolis -- has continued to inform his work as he develops his artistic voice. Shin’s ultimate goal is to transform the scenes of daily life into a kind of visual poetry through his technical mastery of breaking down color and light. That visual poetry is the basis of a new kind of art form which Shin hopes to create and convey, influenced by Korean calligraphy and the bold brushstrokes of Expressionism.
