About this work

This is a box holding six small, colorful prints of a busy city street at night. Bright signs like Coca-Cola glow in red and blue, and neon lights mix with shadows. One print is shiny with tiny metal bits stuck on it, while others look like they’re made of bold, flat colors. The prints are arranged in pairs—each one has a different style, from dark and blurry to bright and blocky. The artist used a mix of printing tricks to create them. Look up lithography next to see how these prints were made.
