City Road (Urban Dusk) Charcoal Cityscape Drawing

This nocturnal cityscape dissolves into a veil of soot and rain, where architecture is less a solid fact than a looming memory pressed into the fog. A single car’s crimson taillights puncture the grayscale hush, turning the wet boulevard into a reflective corridor that pulls the eye inward and suggests motion as a kind of fragile persistence. The small, wavering figures read like fleeting thoughts against an indifferent urban mass, staging a quiet tension between anonymity and endurance. In its softened edges and bruised light, the painting becomes a meditation on modern life’s simultaneous intimacy and estrangement—seen most clearly when it is nearly obscured.
