57th and Broadway is a painting by contemporary French artist Guillaume Chansarel.
New York is one of Guillaume Chansarel’s major inspirations. The city, which graphic landscapes offer unlimited creative possibilities, is the object of the artist’s paintings. The painting 57th and Broadway represents one of the many buildings typical of this North American city, and offers a novel and very graphic depiction of a place that has already been portrayed so many times. This figurative picture brings to the fore the geometric, vertical and symmetrical harmony of the New York streets.
Megacities are the artist’s favorite subject. Through his paintings, Guillaume Chansarel attempts to capture the city’s graphic identity, as a photographer would press the shutter button on his camera. The uniqueness of the artist’s work lies in the realistic aspect of his work but also on the original use of an innovative support : old book pages onto which he draws and then paints, and consequently which tells a completely new story.
