Parallel to portrayals of the human figure, an appreciable amount of attention has been dedicated to depicting deserted streets lined with abandoned shops that provide the beholder with glimpses into their shadowy interiors—often revealing dusky corridors and steeply ascending staircases. The views afforded are highly impressive through the artist’s remarkably expressive and dramatically enhanced use of light: pointillated rays of light permeate the darkness and slide across hallways, over steps and along the handrails of stairways, which have already been partly swallowed by the brooding darkness.
