Cities is an exploration of how we view, experience, and recollect the vibrancy of the cities we visit and call home. Each cityscape provides a new terrain for the viewer to explore. Cities draws upon various points of inspiration: From street-art murals and painted linework, to minimalistic and geometric modernism. Motion is elegantly captured through longer lines — these invoke visuals in the viewer’s mind akin to long-exposure urban photography. Layers of color raise questions and play into our perception of scale, depth, and time. Connections and subtle overlaps reflect the infinite stories, actions and reactions that make up our world. How does time seem to move faster in digital space, as in big cities like NYC? Using the Bauhaus principle of gestalt, the art balances abstract lines with figurative elements. This contrast gives the viewer an “aha” moment as they connect the dots in their mind — even inserting themselves into each work, like the “YOU ARE HERE” markers we’ve all encountered so many times. Within each city you'll find traces of Efdot’s iconic visual language. The Glyphs find their way onto street intersections, evoking a sense of action along with narrative mystery. Efdot’s lifelong connection to New York led him to start drawing these abstract cities by hand, later joining forces with Diid to make this collection represent an “infinite city”. Accordingly, the color palettes are all drawn both from Efdot’s painted work & from colors we naturally encounter in the city.
