Richard Prince
American · b. 1949

Prince's work similarly engages with American urban and automotive imagery through gestural mixed media techniques, blending abstraction with recognizable cultural symbols in a moody and psychologically charged way.

George Condo
American · b. 1957

Condo's use of oilstick and acrylic on canvas with gestural mark making and his ability to evoke ambiguous nocturnal moods through layered mixed media closely parallels Greenwald's approach in this piece.

Dana Schutz
American · b. 1976

Schutz creates contemporary American paintings with bold gestural brushwork and acrylic layering that convey moody urban tension and abstract figuration, sharing the same energetic and emotionally charged nocturnal atmosphere found in this work.
