I’ve been lucky enough to have taken a few helicopter flights over New York in recent years. With the doors off the flights really do provide a fantastic opportunity to photograph some exciting and unusual views for new work (as long as I don’t think too much about how high up I am and how the wind is pummelling my legs!). I’ve always loved the patterns of the Manhattan landscape, from the grids of the streets to the curves of the Hudson as the river wraps its way round the island. Here I’ve highlighted a couple of my favourite landmarks in vivid colours, which contrast nicely with the pieces metallic finish. The image was created from an original photograph, digitally coloured, and printed on a slim sheet of brushed aluminium. Manhattan From Above 2 is made to order. It can usually be created and delivered in around 10-14 days. An aluminium subframe on the back makes it incredibly easy to hang.

Michael Wallner has original artworks for sale with Wychwood Art both in their art gallery and online. Michael has spent more than twenty years in the media industry working on entertainment programmes, talk shows, documentaries, animations and a children’s novel. But creating original and innovative art is his true passion. His latest work celebrates the beauty of the city through the shapes, outlines and colours that define its character. London, New York, Hong Kong, Singapore, Miami, Paris and Dubai all feature in Michael’s portfolio. The art is created by digitally manipulating and colouring his own photographs to produce unusual prints on aluminium, reclaimed wood, brass, even 1930’s copper-lite windows. He also creates neon, magnetic, and L.E.D installations. The metal pieces are printed on very thin sheets of brushed aluminium, giving the work an etched appearance. Michael works out of his studio at Wimbledon Art Studios in South London. Recent exhibitions include The Affordable Art Fair (Battersea, Hampstead, Singapore, New York, Milan), The Other Art Fair, and The Open Studios Show at Wimbledon Art Studios, amongst others.
