Look Closer by Claire Geng
This piece is a product of the Geng’s exploration of new techniques during the Coronavirus lockdown and is inspired by American pop artists like Roy. Look Closer commemorates a building that has captivated the artist since their arrival in the US and serves as a representation of their nostalgia for that time period.
“The reason why [I drew] this building is mainly because I lived really close to this amazing architecture when I came to the US six years ago. I think it is very beautiful and I often see it on the way home after school. However I moved away after I turned fourteen, but I always remember it. It will always bring me a deep feeling of nostalgia.” -Claire Geng
