Under the Gowanus, Sketch for Part 3 (2 Pieces)

Rackstraw Downes is an American painter known for precise, large-scale watercolors and oils depicting overlooked urban and industrial landscapes. Working primarily from direct observation, he renders parking lots, warehouses, and street corners with meticulous attention to atmospheric condition and spatial recession. His practice, rooted in postwar realism, eschews both abstraction and romantic sentiment in favor of the visual complexity embedded in mundane architectural and civic spaces.
