cityscape
This tag gathers artwork centered on cities, skylines, streets, and the built up energy of urban life, rather than natural landscapes or countryside scenes. City subjects give artists sharp lines, repeating patterns, and constant movement to work with, along with a mood that shifts completely between day and night. Some pieces capture a specific, recognizable skyline, others focus on the more anonymous texture of city streets. Use this tag to browse work that finds its subject in the built environment rather than the natural one.
