Chicago L-Train Approach

The green elevated train sweeps across the foreground against a blazing vermillion sky, an Art Deco tower spearing upward as a silver airliner streaks past. Bold flat blocks of black, blue and cream cut the skyline into pure graphic muscle, while a yellow cab and a coated commuter ground the scene in city motion. Painted in the confident poster-modern register of American rail travel. All steel, speed and skyline — a striking statement piece for a loft, an office, or any wall that wants a little urban swagger.
