Linnea Pergola Original Painting  Alphabet City  NYC
This is an original painting by Linnea Pergola of a lower east side neighborhood in New York. Pergola is known for giving New York scenes her own fanciful touch, and in this painting is a great example: a Checker cab with checker stripes that turn into swirls at the ends. There is also a lot of nice light play in this nighttime setting, from the moonlight in the sky, to the streetlight on the ground. Artist: Linnea Pergola Title: "Alphabet City Illuminated" Medium: Original painting on board Signed: In paint, lower right Size: 18" x 24" Condition: Excellent For anyone who loves the East Village, this is a wonderful original Pergola painting. Biography:Linnea Pergola (1953-_) was born in Los Angeles, and developed an interest in travel. She joined the Peace Corps out of college, and was stationed in Southeast Asia. Her further explorations of foreign lands led her to Europe, Russia, and to the East Coast of the United States. This wanderlust became the inspiration for her art. She draws and paints various locales with an imaginative flair. Her art is well loved for its naive charm and originality.
