About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Yellow Cab Turns Right in New York City by José Martinez captures a fleeting moment in the constant rush of urban life. The bold strokes of yellow from the taxi sharply contrast with the cool blues and reds of the city streets, bathed in the reflective glow of neon lights and wet pavement. The cab’s sharp turn is frozen in time, suggesting both motion and stillness as it navigates the busy intersection.
Martinez masterfully plays with light and texture, making the street appear almost liquid under the cab’s tires, while the towering buildings loom above, their abstract forms blending into the misty evening sky. The balance between the sharpness of the cab and the blurred surroundings creates a dynamic tension, highlighting the taxi as a symbol of constant movement in a city that never slows down.
"Yellow Cab Turns Right in New York City" is available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art, Chelsea, and online. This dynamic piece encapsulates the energy of a single moment in New York City, making it a perfect addition to any collection that seeks to capture the pulse of urban life.
Artist biography:
Paul Jansen (1960) was born in Groningen, The Netherlands, and studied at the renowned Minerva Academy in his hometown. Initially beginning his artistic career as a photographer, the influence of photography remains evident in his paintings today, particularly in the unconventional compositions and extreme framing of his works. This is especially notable in his distinctive cow portraits, which have become a central theme in Jansen’s art.
For many years, the cow has been one of Jansen’s primary sources of inspiration. He is fascinated by the earthy, curious nature of these animals and captivated by their unique, often absurd forms and unpretentious presence. Unlike traditional livestock painters of past centuries, who often placed cattle in the background to enhance the landscape, Jansen brings the cow to the forefront. In his work, the landscape fades into insignificance or vanishes entirely, allowing the cow to take center stage. The result is an intimate and engaging portrayal where the cow’s presence dominates, often filling the frame so completely that the animal almost seems to reach out beyond it. Some of his portraits even verge on the abstract, as Jansen uses color and flattened forms to emphasize the cow’s essence.
Jansen paints the cow as an individual with its own soul and distinct personality. His use of dark tones in the animal's coat and the backgrounds contrasts strikingly with details such as the light pink of a cow’s nose, creating a powerful visual dynamic. His work masterfully balances naturalism with abstraction, employing colors and forms to express the core identity of the cow. The textured, tactile quality of his paintings further enhances this, as Jansen works with oil paint on board, building up multiple layers to achieve rich, deep tones. His cows, often depicted in a variety of black and white hues, feature the animal's expressive eyes and wet nose as the central focal points.
Paul Jansen’s work is represented in several prominent figurative galleries across the Netherlands, and his paintings are part of numerous private and corporate collections worldwide.
