New York Midnight In The City XIV
SOLD
Size:48 x 56 in.
This original painting "New York Midnight in the City XIV" by Martin Köster, measuring 43" x 51", presents a stunning convergence of abstraction and realism, capturing the atmospheric beauty of a city at night. Köster, a cosmopolitan German artist, is fascinated by the way cities transform when darkness falls. In this piece, vibrant car headlights, glowing restaurant doorways, and flickering streetlights illuminate the night, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow across the urban landscape.
The painting evokes the essence of a bustling city, yet the blurred outlines and soft edges lend it an abstract quality. The bright teal, turquoise, and deep amber hues melt into one another, suggesting the reflections of wet streets and the ethereal glow that envelops tall buildings. Köster’s use of oils intensifies the colors, providing a richness and depth essential to his signature style.
Köster employs bespoke spatulas and palette knives to create much of the texture in his work, only turning to brushes for the final touches. His technique results in both crisp and soft details, imitating the wetness of a rainy night, while also capturing the towering grandeur of urban architecture. The vertical structures dominate the composition, as Köster's fascination with skyscrapers frequently takes him to high vantage points where he paints as an unseen observer.
Born in Hanover in 1988, Köster's education at Leibniz University of Hanover paved the way for his exploration of urban landscapes. While his early works focused on German cities, his career soon expanded internationally. Exhibiting in cities such as London, New York, and Kuala Lumpur, his works have garnered a global audience. Despite the variety in the architecture he depicts, his expressive brushstrokes, intense palette, and blurred, dream-like quality make his work instantly recognizable.
Köster’s paintings invite viewers to project their own emotions and memories onto the scene. He believes that the abstract nature of his compositions leaves space for personal interpretation, whether it’s a recollection of a familiar city or an evocation of a distant experience. His goal is for viewers to feel the romance and mood of the cityscape, each viewer bringing their own meaning to the vibrant urban dreamscapes he creates.
