David Kapp is known for his expressionistic oil paintings of contemporary urban landscapes, which capture the harsh kinetic beauty of his native, New York City. Kapps works focus on his everyday life as a New Yorker by capturing graphic city scenes full of bright speeding headlights and pedestrians scurrying around sidewalks in a blur, contrasted by backdrops of sky scrapers and a dark night sky.
