Manhattan Muse I

This impression by contemporary painter Lucy Du Sautoy captures a spectacular vision of  mist on a window which completely engulfs the composition apart from a textual/ symbolic motif. Focusing on a subject matter of which one can look out of and ponder the world outside, this piece references moments of daydreaming or introspection. A relatable, contemplative moment in space and time is pleasing to observe. An impression of a whimsical doodle etched into the condensation of a window suffuses a lighthearted, uplifting feeling throughout the piece. Surprisingly, the mixture of realism and contrasting abstraction of the exterior view which is caused naturally by fog produces a beguiling juxtaposition. Mark making is employed to suggest the NYC urban landscape in the distance. This figurative still life is woven together in realistic brushstrokes. This original artwork is painted in oils on canvas, hand signed by the artist, and framed, ready to be displayed.
