Claude Gémy (French, Provence)

New York Yellow Cabs. Oil on canvas. 2010

A lively, impressionistic street scene by contemporary artist Claude Gemy, depicting a bustling New York avenue filled with iconic yellow taxis. Painted in expressive, textured oil, the composition captures the energy and movement of the city through bold brushwork and vibrant colour contrasts. American flags, dense traffic and towering buildings create a sense of depth and metropolitan atmosphere.

Executed in oil on canvas, the work features a rich impasto surface, with confident strokes and a dynamic palette that emphasises the warmth of the taxis against cooler street and architectural tones. The artist’s loose, gestural style evokes the rhythm and vitality of urban life.

Signed to the lower right and titled and inscribed to the reverse.
