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. Artist biography: José Martinez invites his audience to immerse themselves in the dynamic and explosive energy of some of the world’s most iconic mega-cities, including New York, London, Tokyo, and across Asia. Renowned for his fearless, exuberant approach, Martinez’s works capture the essence of urban landscapes, landmarks, and architecture with a blend of boldness and sophistication. His powerful depictions are as timeless as they are contemporary, offering a fresh take on the cities that inspire him. Working across various styles, from impressionist realism to abstract and deconstruction, Martinez’s art challenges traditional boundaries. Whether creating vivid cityscapes or one-of-a-kind commissioned pieces, his works are characterized by their vibrancy, intelligence, and emotional impact. Born in 1967, José Martinez currently splits his time between England and Singapore, continuing to push the limits of urban expression in the global art scene.

Toward Lexington Avenue on Rainy day, Painting, Oil on Canvas
By Chin H Shin
Located in Yardley, PA
Oil on Canvas 40 x 30 x 1.5 inches from New York City * people walking around on this soft rainy day evening, street seems to be a little quite today but cozy enough to imagine a cup of hazelnut coffee and a brownie. * In most recent years, Shin has dedicated his focus on New York cityscapes. The expressiveness of New York City -- its brilliant culture, vast history, and even the very streets of the metropolis -- has continued to inform his work as he develops his artistic voice. Shin’s ultimate goal is to transform the scenes of daily life into a kind of visual poetry through his technical mastery of breaking down color and light. That visual poetry is the basis of a new kind of art form which Shin hopes to create and convey, influenced by Korean calligraphy...
