Port Chester Scenes, 2011

Laminated glass in shelter windows

Artist Bernard Greenwald created a series of panoramic paintings, inspired by sites in the town of Port Chester as seen primarily from the train platform. The compositions reflect Port Chester's contemporary environs. Heightened color makes the imagery visually engaging and reflects the village's vitality and diversity. Each panorama is divided into separate panels that occupy the various windows while remaining a visually connected composition.

Interpreted in laminated glass, the paintings are luminous and will change from day to night as the light shifts from natural daylight to illumination at night, providing a welcoming sight for commuters.
