In Grand Central Madison, you can now see new digital art created by artists Eirini Linardaki and Zach Horn. Their works combine handmade materials with technology, creating extraordinary scenes of nature and urban landscapes that are accessible to the residents of New York.
The painting “Diaphanous Paredolia” by Linardaki depicts collages of multicolored patterns that form urban landscapes, trains, and buildings. On the other hand, Horn’s “Rockaway” is a tribute to the coast of New York. It consists of 24 hand-painted wave paintings that reference Horn’s family’s long history in Rockaways, Queens.
“This is a place where my mother learned to ride a bike, and my youngest son also learned on a two-wheeler,” says Horn. “Now I’m old enough to see this place through the prism of its fractal rhythms: waves crashing, tides ebbing, generations coming and going.” For him, it is a visual reminder of his roots and a way to connect the communicating residents of New York City with the nearby sea.
Meanwhile, Linardaki’s collages use scans of multicolored fabrics to reflect the diversity, extravagance, and vibrancy of New York City itself. “It captures the pulse of the city, showcasing not only the iconic architecture and energetic rhythm of Grand Central but also panoramic views of the East River, the dynamic landscape of Long Island City, and the serene beauty of Upstate New York,” says Linardaki. “As the collages come to life, viewers embark on a visual pilgrimage and witness the convergence of ever-changing landscapes of each place.”
The artworks are displayed on five giant LED screens near the entrance at 47th Street in Grand Central Madison in the east Midtown. The MTA Arts & Design Digital Art Program is an initiative that invites digital artists to showcase their work on the screens of Grand Central Madison and Fulton Center in downtown Manhattan. This is the second group of artists presenting their works at Grand Central Madison.
