Manhattan cityscape installed on the wall of this appartment
Right view of the sculpture, with the bridge on Hudson river. See the different shades of rust color, gold, copper and silvers sheets.
With different lights come a different perception of the sculpture, like in real life. Light and shadows play with shape and feelings.
empire state building and Chrysler stylized at the top of the sculpture, all gold and shiny.
Hollywood boulevard is dividing the sculpture and make the eye want us to come closer and getting absorbed by the sculpture.

About The Artwork

Anamorphic perspective view of South Manhattan with Broadway and 5th Avenue surrounded by skyscrapers including One World Trade Center, Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, etc. ​----------- Cut, welded, rusted, polished pieces of metal, varnished and fixed together, at various distances from the wall. Steel Wall Sculpture attached to the wall with a hook. ----------- A few words from the artist : " That night, I was sitting in front of this view, in my hotel room ... And I could not imagine that the reality could have so far exceeded my wildest fantasies. The lines of force, the pure energy, the symmetry in anarchy, the opposition of fullness and emptiness, the opposite dimensions ... It only remained for me to take my pencil and for once ... a rare time ... to not try to get away from it anymore. This sculpture was born ... an anamorphic perspective view of southern Manhattan with Broadway and 5th Avenue surrounded by skyscrapers including the One World Trade Center, Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, etc. ​ Everything was there, but I knew that watching it with such intensity would stick my mark in this universe. My tiny contribution to the history of humanity on the move. "

With primary materials, street elements - metal, tar, rust, sand, spray paint - and stylized, forms stripped of the overflowing of images that floods us and knocks us, Daty requalify the environment and creates ' high reliefs ' of steel and shadows by playing with light and three dimensions to recreate an anamorphic world, to the altered and lyrical reality. Invoking the surrealist world of Hieronymus Bosch, the symbolism of Gustave Moreau or the engravings of Gustave Doré, drinking from the illustrators of heroic-fantasy and science fiction (Moebius, Jodorowsky), fascinated by the light effects of the shadow theater Chinese PiYing, the kinetic art of Tinguely or Shun Ito and playing with perspectives in the manner of an Escher or modern 3D shooting techniques, it plunges us into a world of bubble cities, cities and towns. roots, from Birdviews where our reality is stylized, distorted, emptied of everything that makes life. Daty-signature-or-gold.gif Then only the skeleton of steel springing from the wall and the light playing with the forms and recreating life.The result is a force of narration, a magnetism where the spectator is surprised to try to fill the voids, feels absorbed by the energy released, driven by the movement, the adhesion or the rejection. He rewrites the world, his world.
