I found this article to be very amusing. I like the whole concept that the artist decides to give to the person viewing it. If you look at the pictures, you could feel the urban in it. I really enjoyed finding this article and art! haha David Hewitt is a genius when it comes to urban art. Here is what they had to say: The First Street Gallery in New York presents "Urban Reemains - David Hewitt" from March 31 through April 24, 2009. Bruce Helander comments, "David Hewitt paints mysterious pictures that investigate and document unearthed evidence of ancient civilizations. In his recent series meticulously depicting long abandoned urban centers, the artist positions his perspective from an imaginary aerial viewpoint that allows the architectonic richness of his sites to reveal their secrets." The First Street Gallery promotes their artists with a Gallery Portfolio at absolutearts.com.

I was also impressed by David Hewitt's new paintings. The strange, almost fish-eye, perspective that David uses in these paintings emphasize and seem to make sacred the perspective of the viewer. The effect is that the viewer feels very much aware of his relationship to the painting and reminded of what it means to look at something. I greatly enjoyed the show while it was up at the First Street Gallery in Chelsea; it's down now but you can still see some of the images at: http://www.firststreetgallery.net/hewitt.html.
