This is absolutely my favorite from all I've seen of your work. Where does it hang to be so large?

Down on Main Street...

clever design and integration of the panels. Bet they would look good with space between them too. Nice demonstration of a limited palette.

Reminds me of driving through downtown with my nose pressed up against the window watching all the reflections in the storefront windows and shiney autos and neon lights in front of jazz clubs and ladies of the night and dark alleys and bright car light flashes for blocks & blocks. Five to be exact.

Then a quieting night.

A lot of movement

with the blacks and whites.

Your work conveys so many fleeting impressions and emotions, Artaton. Sophisticated, yet in an unassumed, natural way. A person who hasn't stopped NOTiCinG things. What a beautiful talent !

Thank you very much for the complement...I like Ackermann's work ..... " Evasion" is one that comes to mind...very colorful and wild Artist.

Thank you Smileawhyl.....It could be hung, but at this time it is functioning as a screen in a large room of one of my clients.

Thank you Zotma for your astute comment.

Thanks Tam ...it is a screen and there is a slight space between panals, when it is open and standing.......I took the picture flat open for my records.The view changes when it is open and standing , the angles ( almost 45%) cause overlaping of the images on the panals, depenging where the viewer is standing....it is very effective.
