In the mid 90's I lived on Saint Marks Place in New York City's east village. I remember walking home from school and seeing the streets were just littered with these phone sex flyers. Just glossy, porno-riffic mouths and boobs offering "sex" at a dollar a minute—as far as the eye could see. I really just wanted to recreate one of these, in large scale and oil— as a thing of beauty, as a nod to a now vanished New York. It's grit and glory. I want the viewer to see humor and the beauty. And I chose black and white because New York feels very black and white to me. Yellow was chosen because it's also a very New York color, the cabs, the old street signs were all this deep saturated yellow that I love.

New York City artist Sarah Sweeney's portfolio bears witness to the manic range of her artistic curiosity, running the gamut from noir-like fascination with the sensual and lurid and underground, to friction between high and low culture, to a kind of nostalgia for urban Americana. She explores responses from beautiful to bizarre, subversive to funny.
