About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. In “NYC Rain III,” Jose Martinez masterfully captures the vibrant energy of New York City infused with the serenity of a rain-soaked evening. Painted in oil on canvas, this abstract impressionist work merges the dynamic movement of the city with the reflective tranquility of water, offering a striking visual balance.
The scene unfolds with towering skyscrapers that seem to dissolve into the sky, their shapes softened by the mist and rain. Bright yellows and fiery oranges contrast with cool blues, creating a mesmerizing interplay of warm and cool tones that dance across the canvas. The city’s glowing lights, reflected in the glossy, wet streets below, elongate and shimmer like liquid fire, guiding the viewer’s gaze deep into the urban landscape.
The street is alive with subtle activity—tiny hints of cars, figures, and motion blend seamlessly into the abstract forms. Yet amidst the bustling chaos, the reflective quality of the rain offers a quiet pause, as though the city is momentarily hushed by the downpour.
Signed and ready to be displayed, “NYC Rain III” is a celebration of urban life, reimagined through a lens of poetic abstraction. Its dynamic textures and luminous color palette make it a standout piece for collectors who appreciate the beauty of cityscapes transformed by nature’s elements.

Born in Texas, Jean Hyson (American, 1928-2023) is best known for her modernist, sharp edge, paintings. Hyson attended the Art Student League in New York with George Grosz, Yaso Kumiyoshi and William Baziotes and Beaux Artes, Paris, France from 1954-59. She was an Artist in Residence and Instructor at the California College of Arts and Crafts, Oakland from 1970-1974. Her work is held in the Oakland Art Museum, Oakland California, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Santa Barbara, California and the California Container Corp. of America, Chicago, Illinois.
Jean Hyson and her then-husband Jacques Fabert (who typically painted under the name “Jean Faber Himbert”) were an important force within the midcentury San Francisco art scene. Her work has been featured in countless Bay Area gallery and museum exhibitions—including SFMOMA, the de Young, and the Legion of Honor—and is in numerous public and private collections.
