Debra Hurd, the painter of New York City, is a talented artist who is well-known for her “insightful paintings of animals, her vivid city scenes and her passionate and perceptive depictions of jazz, rock, and blues musicians” (Debra Hurd). She as a successful artist, is also an accomplished musician due to her early days of study on music (Debra Hurd). In the painting the New York City, the first thing that stands out is the unique appliance of color. Everything is so bright and vivid in a way that leads the audience to the excitement of the city lives. And here is how she explains her choosing of colors: “a very ordinary scene can be perceived differently when painted with a bit of exaggerated color and awareness of light. The ordinary then becomes the extraordinary. Color is critical. When I'm asked which color is my favorite, I tend to think in terms of which two or three colors I like in combination” (Debra Hurd).
The Painting New York City by Debra Hurd vividly depicts the lively night life in New York. The background is full of buildings with countless bright and colorful signs on them. All of the buildings are so close to each other that it creates a tension for the painting which reveals the overcrowded stress of the cities. This painting successfully reflects the attitude towards life that the majority possesses. Being able to live in the city means a comfortable, colorful and joyful life. People do whatever they can to get out of the countryside and work in the city. People have chosen to forget their original home – nature because they believe they have found themselves a better home.
But which one is really better, nature or modern technologies?
