For this station the artist photographed many people who he felt could be representative of the unique and quirky characters who could well pass through this subway station and selected 3 dozen characters to be presented as MOsaic work in the subway station.

I loved the colorful and realistic look of all his mosaics in this station as I said earlier from a distance many of them could easily be seen as real people when you initially see them, from a distance it’s hard to tell which are real and which are the art till the real people move.

I honestly think my photos do not fully give justice to these very cool Mosaics, but they do give a taste for the beautiful art in this station
This is post two of three of this station. if you visit or live in NYC and haven't checked out these stations I really do recommend going and seeing them for yourself.

those are amazing! The detail is quite something when you get up close to them. That first picture is driving me crazy though! because its just to the right of being perfectly centered it is somehow screwing with my brain lol!
Aren’t they just
Ohh yeah I see what you mean now it is annoying me 😂
Lol! Sorry mate 😂
No worries 😉
No worries 😉
That mosaic look with how they created those is amazing. I do have say NYC seems to put a lot of effort in creating a very visually pleasing areas all around the city. I really like the police officer holding some kind of treat. That is some amazing detail in clothing, and textures of the skin.
That police officer one is indeed so cool
There is so much to see in NYC for sure
Some visually pleasing but it does also have its darker sides
I was hoping to see more of these. It really is amazing to me how the artists are able to make mosaic art look so real. My favorite of this batch is the older guy holding the globe. :)
The talent of the artist is amazing without a doubt
Thanks for passing on this mosaic art work, which most will never see in person.
That’s why I do a lot of my city shots have many friends and family all over the globe who may never get here

I love the diversity of the portraits on display, I guess that truly reflects New York.
They are great and yes this very much reflects the diversity in NYC
