Frederick Brosen, one of America’s finest watercolor artists. These striking works are infused with the architectural romance of New York City. By focusing on the time of day around him and the city, Brosen brings an awareness of New York as a place of history and limitless experience. At dawn, Brosen travels on his bike in quest of new subjects, when the streets are devoid of the hustle-bustle of daily metropolitan life. With painstaking care and commitment, he sketches a scene, photographs it, and sketches again. Finally painting, Brosen builds his color by starting with light washes and adding layer after layer of rich tone. The results are crystalline and sophisticated images that reflect each location through the intimacy of countless details.
