In most people's minds, New York is a crowded city, teeming with people. That is not always true. New York is also a desert. Lonely, desolate, isolated. At night on the streets, under arched bridges, down alleys, in nooks and crannies, there is a New York that is still, unpeopled, and hushed. Yet, at other times and in other places, New York is packed full of people, energy and dreams. This New York, the public and the secret, is my city. These are paintings of passage, of the alchemical change from red and granular nights to the glimmering light of dawn and on into the cacophony of clamoring, hot life.

Powerful and lyrical, Jonathan Herbert's representational paintings of New York are charged with the brilliance of his city.
