Description: A fractured midnight view of New York through the lens of Television’s Marquee Moon: electric guitar lines become city streets, a glowing marquee hangs beneath a distorted moon, and four distant silhouettes disappear into the static. Saturated cyan, violet and magenta collide with rough 1970s print texture for an art-punk poster aesthetic built around the nocturnal, poetic tension of downtown New York.
