Ben Will, Urban Spaces II, Gouache on Canvas
“The Urban Spaces Series are imaginative or real urban developments and architecture. I am exploring the perceptions of urban development and social interaction.”
- Ben Will
Ben Will's urban space painting has given me a lot of inspiration for depicting the structure of social space. In this painting, he describes the bustling streets of New York City. The work shows the daily life of citizens in Brooklyn living in a slightly darker tone city. He explores people's perceptions of urban development and social interaction. Suppose we continue to dig deeper into the meaning behind this painting. The use of bright red and green paint makes me think that the artist wishes to show that the life of ordinary people in New York has not been affected too much by the background of modernism through social and economic development. The social structure has not become intolerable due to the distortion of human nature.
