In "Impressions NYC Skyline," Glen Wilbert photographs the New York City skyline as a blur of motion, the buildings smeared into faint vertical streaks beneath a clear sky and above broad horizontal bands of green and tan.
The image is the most abstract in the series, made with deliberate camera movement so the skyline dissolves into soft, ghostly verticals along the horizon. The frame divides into calm horizontal zones: pale blue sky at the top, the blurred city in the middle, and the green and sand-colored bands of land and water below. Only a few taller towers hold their shape enough to be read as buildings. The grain and softness give the picture the quality of a painting more than a sharp photograph.
The title points directly to Impressionism, and the piece works the same way, suggesting the city through color and light rather than detail. It is Glen's most painterly take on New York.
A study in pastel tone and motion, where the skyline is rendered as soft bands of color.
