David Kapp has been painting the urban landscape, in particular New York City, in all its relentless pace, irresistible dynamism and precarious balance of order and chaos, for some twenty years. As his powerfully wrought paintings attest, through their gradual and distinct evolution over two decades, his subject matter has grown with him, that is to say, his familiarity with this formidable city is reflected in the clarity and accuracy of his vision.
