Beacon 2011

Aaron Nagel's "Beacon" (2011) is a hyperrealistic painting depicting a woman, seemingly floating above a nighttime cityscape. The artist, known for his photorealistic style, captures the detail of the city lights and the woman's anatomy, creating a sense of both beauty and unease. The piece suggests a sense of isolation and the vastness of the world, as the woman appears dwarfed by the urban landscape. The painting's title, "Beacon," hints at a possible message of hope or guidance, leaving the viewer to ponder the woman's role and the meaning of the city's lights in the darkness.
