Red Grooms

New York in the Future

1986

Vibrant and whimsical painting depicting a futuristic cityscape with a fiery sunset sky. The scene is bustling with activity, featuring flying cars, colorful buildings with neon signs, and a variety of characters and creatures populating the streets. The perspective is exaggerated, creating a sense of depth and movement. The artwork is framed within a gallery setting, mounted on a wall above a white baseboard.
