Untitled (New York City) c. 1980

"Untitled (New York City)" is a photo by Shawn Walker depicting a large, dark figure in the foreground obscuring a street scene in New York City. The figure's shape and placement are reminiscent of a silhouette, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. The city's architecture and cars are visible in the background, with the title of the work suggesting a focus on urban life. The artwork's silhouette style is a technique frequently used in photography to convey a sense of isolation, anonymity, and the unknown. The combination of the dark figure against the city backdrop can be seen as a commentary on urban life and the complexities of human interaction within the city.
