Winter Shadows, New York by Stefan Bleekrode

Stefan Bleekrode b.1986 | Dutch Winter Shadows, New York Black ink and watercolor on paper Signed and dated "S. Bleekrode '18-'20" (upper right) This birds-eye view of New York City was composed by the celebrated Dutch artist Stefan Bleekrode. Executed with an exquisite level of detail on an impressive scale, the work is a study in perspective and light, deftly using only shades of gray. Bleekrode captures the city near dusk, lit at a dramatic angle and casting long shadows over the landscape. Unlike any other artist of our age, Bleekrode offers a fascinating rumination on architecture and the urban space with a veracity and intricacy that few other artists could achieve. Winter Shadows, New York is a truly exceptional example of his highly original compositions. The Dutch artist was born in 1986 and only recently pursued a full-time career as an artist. As a child around the age of 10, Bleekrode began his pursuit of perfecting the cityscape, creating birds-eye perspective drawings
