Seeing through the windows of strangers is qualified as a hobby in the city of New York. Where someone goes to see, it is a question that the city’s efficions and public figures respond with gaiety. Soh! Williamsburg! Central Park! This is the metropolitan pastime: to see and see; To inspect the world around you, in the same way you expect the world to inspect you; To walk a few steps outside your apartment and stay at the center of all this.
The art of the British-born, New York-based Nigel Van Viak achieved this visibility in its work, which has been continuously recognized by a audience on social media in the last decade. In Manhattan, inside his studio, the city sirens are roaming and a man can be heard from below if we have seen God. Nigel’s Jazz playlist, lifts the sintos to be repeated on a loop, almost immersed the noise. He pointed to a portrait in which a scene is displayed which he has worked in the last two years. “I call it a burger king,” he says, laughing at his own simplification, “but it’s about American commerce. Very transactions.”

The image invites neon-lit cities, shown by film production in the eighties, which saliva the audience on cheese and American dreams. There is a near-close dinner, leaving the ocean and a woman, or entering, a car. You can hear the signs of the neon, revolving in blues and greens, and the gambling is echoing inside the dinner. This is a terrible setting, but it asks the viewer for more reference, more familiar, more answer.
“Look close: All lines in the composition reach a man for his wallet.”

Nigel’s studio is placed with paintings of men and women unaware of the artist’s infiltration on his privacy as he captured them in paint for his audience. Although the severity and solitude of Edward Hopper are found in peace, there is a contemporary for their work that distinguishes them from the American realists of the past. Nigel’s visuals can occur from the eyes of Quentin Tarantino or Sophia Copola-a fleeting, hyper-sustained filter that activates an otherwise the worldly moment, which he attaches to work with a kinetic light and neon in his career.
Nigel’s work has seen a revival in popularity since the morning of Tumbller and Instagram in early 2010. For many millenniums, these were platforms where themselves were first cultivated through aesthetics and taste manufacturing and cures. The Internet was well established and integrated into the family house, and the children wiped out their power in their struggle, or whatever version of themselves wanted to project their own power.

The way the power of the Teenage Angest is today in trimming and editing a trending song remixed, the page was filled with black and gray paintings of Arctic Monkeys’ albums, Lana del Ray Quotes and Marina and Diamond music videos. These sensations were displayed on users’ blogs and their feed; A tribute to music, literature and art shifted him.
There was internalism – and with it, Nigel’s work, which inspires introspection, was indispensable.
“What I paint is not fashionable” Nigel claims, “but young people like it.”
His wife Sandra manages her Instagram account, which has arranged 35,000 followers. Each painting is implicated by a white border, such as mounted on a gallery wall. Dinner, bedroom and cabaret scenes have been drenched in red and yellow lights in the organized grid of the peel in the life of strangers.
“If I have a superpower, I want to be invisible,” he jokes, seems to see how his wish already appears in his work.
Sandra’s captions are often attracted to pop cultural contexts, with posts produced around the hit of Millennial Pink or Dose Cat, painting the city in red. She regularly posts to nurture the community and keep the engagement high, and has held the page the relevant story highlights and notable studios, like actor Pierce Broanson. Asked if he has any picture of Sandra, Nigel laughs and admits that he finds it boring when artists use their wives as a model. “But he is a muse. A lot of work comes through him. ,

Some uploads from Sandra have side-by-side comparisons of Nigel’s paintings for scenes in a film or television episodes. A special piece, Q traineer appears in the recurrence of repetitions so that it is difficult to believe that it was not the original inspiration of the cinematographer.
Striking paintings-thousands of times re-prepared thousands of times, retweeted, a young woman slipped into one of the orange shield seats of New York City’s Q train, long hair frameed her shadow-oriented face and her hand carried her cheeks. There is no light outside the window of this transient train, which is not unknown or anywhere.
Some followers were in a hurry to tell that the scene was out of the story of Noah Bambach’s wedding directly, an episode of Leena Dunham’s Girlsin, which heartbreak and Asahay Marni Michaels saw the previous relationship again.
“What I managed to do in Q train, had to portray disappointment; I think I caught it completely, ”Nigel says to me. “All of us, at some point in our lives, are in that position, and because I have found it right, people are particularly associated with that picture.”

Many young women have sent their tribute to the painting to Nigel, copying the exact currency of the Q train or its own interpretation. Artists and graphic painters have also rebuilt the scene, overturning the wires of Van Gag out of the window, or adding Bojack Horseman and Paul McCartney as women’s companions.
But what is extraordinary about work, artists say, it is that this scene was not real.
Sandra still receives a message from the followers, who thanks Nigel for the picture and its innovation is vulnerable. Such a message asked for the story behind the work and said that the picture has served as an inspiration for his photography. Sandra says, “A lot of Nigel’s followers are in cinema because cinematographers have to think about images, so the painting can inspire it.”
Uday of video on social media has given new credibility for Nigel’s work. Teenagers and twenty-somving online are instructed to make Kwidian romantic, absorbing every moment as it was a scene from a film. The “A Day in My Life” series prepare young men and women to get out of bed and make their cups of coffee, to work for the later hours, shopping and eat, polish the video for perfection. Others reside for ‘realistic days’ made of worldly works, such as organizing pantry and cupboards, preparing week meals and deep cleaning their bathrooms. Our Vyurijism as audience promotes the trend, unfiltated and enticing tendency, and creates charged climate in which Nigel’s work thrives.
“It used to be that the academy decided what a good art was, deciding who and who could be displayed or not, the art came with the dealer and revolted … Today, the dealers are the establishment – what was the academy in the 19th century, whose studio is regularly visited by the young collectors, who had done his work online.” What would I do to do with the dealers and galleries, but I was surprised. It is beginning to feel. “
