The artwork titled “Starry Night, Echo Park” was created by artist Carlos Almaraz in 1984. As a part of the Neo-Expressionism movement, this piece is categorized under the genres of landscape and cloudscape and is included in the “Echo Park” series.
In “Starry Night, Echo Park,” the artist masterfully captures a nocturnal scene set in Echo Park. The composition features a vibrant and dynamic use of color and expressive brushstrokes, characteristic of the Neo-Expressionist style. The sky is filled with swirling patterns and illuminated by a prominent full moon, casting a surreal glow over the entire landscape. Along the horizon, dark green hills are visible, while below, tall red-hued trees and parked cars are lined up along a street, their reflections shimmering in the water body that occupies the foreground. The artwork exudes a dreamlike, almost mystical atmosphere, blending natural and urban elements in a vivid representation of Echo Park at night.
