In "Sunrise, NYC," Glen Wilbert photographs the New York skyline at dawn as seen through a sheer curtain, the buildings softened into a hazy green silhouette against a blue sky, with the vertical folds of the fabric falling across the frame.
The image holds a soft pastel palette of blue and muted green, the city dissolved by the curtain into a faint, textured silhouette along the lower half. Glen shot through the hanging fabric so its vertical seams divide the picture into loose panels and the skyline reads as a quiet outline rather than sharp detail. A couple of small points of warm light glow through the haze. The result is gentle and near-abstract, the city seen as if half-remembered on waking.
This is a quiet, interior view of a New York morning, the skyline glimpsed from a window rather than out in the open. It is among Glen's most atmospheric and painterly images of the city.
A study in pastel tone and softness, where the skyline is reduced to a faint silhouette behind the curtain.
