Setting, 15 x 22, Acrylic, Pen and Ink, Illustration BoardIntroducing Jeff Konigsberg, an artist who works in the curious intersection of architecture and landscape, at once both interior and exterior, imagined and remembered.
In the case of his wall drawings, there is an accumulation of views from an actual place – usually a space with windows – and his drawing brings the interior and exterior views together, collapsing these into a layered map of his experience in this space over time.
Below are installation photographs of two such wall drawings (he paints directly onto the wall, as well as carves into the wall board).

New Pollution, detail.These are meticulously rendered in ink and layers of airbrushed acrylic – and easy to get lost inside. Enjoy.

These are lovely. I look forward to looking at Konigsberg's site when I'm not so slammed at work.
Wait - there's no website, just an email link.
Damn.

Omygod, they are gorgeous.
Funny, how having practiced architectural [manual] rendering makes you appreciate a fine artist.
Such a beauty, esp. the blue one... Thank you for bringing him here.
