View from Dakota

A sweeping aerial perspective rendered through Kunié Sugiura's distinctive photographic sensibility, this diptych combines gelatin silver emulsion with acrylic on canvas to evoke the iconic New York cityscape as seen from the legendary Dakota building. The work's two-part structure creates a panoramic sense of depth and continuity, blending photographic texture with painterly gesture. Sugiura's layering of materials bridges the boundary between photography and painting, transforming an urban vista into an intimate yet monumental meditation on place and observation.
