art collection.

MAN ONE PAINTS AT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER!

The idea behind this piece was based on Man One’s inspirational views of Manhattan from high above the city skyline. From that vantage point all he saw were the tops of giant buildings as far as the eye could see. He recalled a childhood movie favorite called “War of the Gargantuas”. It reminded him of architectural behemoths battling for supremacy. In this piece, he paints two large colorful characters made up of structural elements trying to out do each other in the gray skies over New York City. It’s a city of giants that show no mercy.

Among the exceptional submissions received, the winning pieces came from Manahil M. of Eshalmen School, Kayla O. of Lomita STEAM Magnet, and Miaah C. of Saint Margaret School.
