The book New York: Finger Paintings by Jorge Colombo compiles the early days of my working on an iPhone touch screen, going back to 2009. It was thrilling to approach landscape painting with a technique so new that everything I had done before had to be re-learned. Using the familiar cast of NYC's urban movie, architectural stars like the Chrysler Building; character actors like water towers or food carts brought a feeling of rediscovery to each new vista. Lexington and 53rd Street and Prince and Lafayette display some of my favorite lighting schemes of New York. The constellation of lights that pierces the blackness of the night leaves us with the task of inventing the shape of buildings we don't actually see. And the majestic sunsets' invisible grips that hang above New Jersey each afternoon transform the east-west canyons into a play of silhouettes.

Artist - Jorge Colombo

Jorge Colombo

Jorge Colombo has worked as an illustrator, as a photographer and as graphic designer, for more than 30 years. He's best known for the digital images he’s been doing since 2009, initially finger-painting on an iPhone, more recently on an iPad with an Apple Pencil. Four 20x200 editions released in April 2009 led to his first cover for The New Yorker, highlighted by the media as the first magazine cover ever created on a smartphone. His images continue appearing in The New Yorker and many other publications. His collection of one hundred NYC views, "New York: Finger Paintings by Jorge Colombo," featuring essays by Jen Bekman and Christoph Niemann, was published in 2011 by Chronicle Books, in collaboration with 20x200. Colombo was born in 1963 in Lisbon, Portugal, and moved to the USA in 1989. He lived in Chicago, in San Francisco and has been living in New York City since 1998 with his wife, artist Amy Yoes.
