This artwork features a geometric abstract composition that evokes the aesthetic and atmosphere of Coney Island. Coney Island Amusement Park; located in Brooklyn; New York; is a place that inspires me with its mix of vibrant colors and bold shapes.
The large blue semi-circular shape evokes the famous Wonder Wheel; while the red-orange splashes recall flashing neon lights and festive illuminations.
The splashes of orange paint evoke the dynamic and sometimes chaotic character of the park; like the screams of visitors on the rides.
I see a duality between the energy of the park in operation (represented by the bright colors and splashes) and the emptiness that sets in after the crowds leave (symbolized by the white spaces). Coney Island: a place of explosive joy that transforms into a space of melancholic contemplation when everything stops and the crowds have left.
