BQE Overpass in Gowanus

 

Oil on canvas
12” x 16”
$990

As of 2021, the south end of Gowanus remains full of commercial and industrial buildings, and the arching overpass of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway adds to the sense of raw grittiness. I thought of calling this painting “Stop, Stop, Stop” because the word appears three times, but it didn’t seem descriptive enough!
