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.

The Mosaics in this series at the subway station are made with Mosaic tile and glass

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.
