New Yorker Hotel Drawing – Mixed Media Cityscape by Bart Carels
This original drawing captures the bold silhouette of Manhattan’s iconic New Yorker Hotel — where Art Deco charm meets gritty city rhythm. Sketched with fineliner, layered in marker, and detailed in acrylic, it’s a mixed media love letter to NYC’s architectural legacy. It feels urban, unfiltered, and full of angles.
Sketched from Memory, Built from Contrast
The towering facade, the red neon sign, the stacked windows — they all come alive through a rhythm of structured lines and loose color washes. However, this isn’t just a cityscape. It’s a visual postcard from the street, drawn like a memory and painted like a moment. You’ve seen it in movies — now you can hang it on your wall.
No Reprints. No Copies. Just the One.
This is a one-of-a-kind mixed media work — not a reproduction, not a digital edit. Instead, it’s the raw original, created on textured paper using pen marks and layered pigment. As a result, it brings a physicality that digital images just can’t match.

Made for the City-Minded
This artwork wasn’t made to blend in. In fact, it was created for those who find beauty in brickwork, signage, and skyline silhouettes. It’s not just a building — it’s a frameable piece of memory, drawn by hand and meant to be experienced up close.
