When I was a teenager, I had a framed poster of Claude Monet’s, “House of Parliament at Sunset” on my wall.
This chalk drawing in McGolrick Park reminded me of that image.
It brought me back to when I confused Impressionistic sunlight for fire.

I just can’t seem to escape these abstract minimalist paintings from my childhood appearing on all the walls around me, like here on Apollo Street, Greenpoint.

The only time a printed phone book serves any purpose these days, is when it’s laying on the sidewalk, weathered, twisted and beautiful in an abstract, texturey way. That’s what I think at least. Remember this one? How about this beauty?

I’ve always loved the tar covered rooftops in Brooklyn and how they make abstract forms and textures if appreciated at the right scale.
These pictures I took on my own roof in Greenpoint sometimes look like giant mountain views and other times like the skin of an elephant.
These images look better bigger, so click on individual shots to see them in all their majestic beauty!
More flaky bricks, just the way I like ‘em.
From the ghetto end of Grand Street in Brooklyn that is hard to get to via car.
And a little abstract minimalism as the cherry on top.
The city is a giant museum if you so choose it to be. Rothko lives.
