Sax Berlin
Street Angel. ( Subway Series ) Contemporary Neo Expressionist Painting

2021

About the Item

1980's NYC; dark and dangerous times. Gangs roamed the streets again, as they did in the 1800's, committing acts of egregious violence upon helpless citizens. But......... there was light and hope, relief from the threatening chaos. For over 40 years the Street Angels stood watch in the dank subway tunnels. Covered in decades of urban grime the  Angel reaches out, a beacon shining in the darkness. Sax Berlin has resurrected the eponymous Angel in tribute to all the Angels who throughout those times offered protection to the people of New York City. This painting is a heartfelt, important piece and this shines through in its exceptional quality. Oil and acrylic on canvas
