Biography
New York City Windowscapes are a group of paintings from Nils Hasche-Vasquez's current work depicting a variety of Window Landscape scenes of NYC that he calls “Windowscapes”. The Windowscapes depict personal views witnessed, synthesized, and photographed by the artist of archetypical views of NYC from and through windows and are inspired in part by the late Forrester Church’s “Windows of the Cathedral of the World Sermon”. These conceptual perceptions employ the picture plane to demonstrate the severity of the urban landscape embodied by monumental forms juxtaposed with tightly bound and closely cropped dwellings found in everyday life in New York City. Hasche-Vasquez uses windows as a moniker to dialogue about the nature of the city as a mixture of the completely banal and the utterly spectacular and purposely strays away from iconographical references to tourist attractions; the color palette is intentionally nonrepresentational, and Abstract Expressionist.
