Description
This is the wall of a building on West 158 Street in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York. It houses the Ferrell Clinic which is affiliated with New York Presbyterian Hospital. The brick wall was stripped down as the beginning step in renovation and the process exposed layers of old paint. This is "wall art" in more than one sense.
Per Wikipedia: Abstract photography, sometimes called non-objective, experimental, conceptual or concrete photography, is a means of depicting a visual image that does not have an immediate association with the object world and that has been created through the use of photographic equipment, processes or materials. An abstract photograph may isolate a fragment of a natural scene in order to remove its inherent context from the viewer, it may be purposely staged to create a seemingly unreal appearance from real objects, or it may involve the use of color, light, shadow, texture, shape and/or form to convey a feeling, sensation or impression. The image may be produced using traditional photographic equipment like a camera, darkroom or computer, or it may be created without using a camera by directly manipulating film, paper or other photographic media, including digital presentations.
