Subject: A lively, impressionistic depiction of the charming restaurant "12 Chairs" and "Salt."

This painting was painted on sight by the artist. Depicting an iconic Soho street scene with beautiful brushwork and whimsical details, this piece captures the essence of the west village, NYC. The light reflects on the slick wet road, as the paint vibrates with fast brushwork. Shaoul is known for painting motifs in the "Ashcan School" style with thick use of paint and a whimsical approach. Shaoul captures the scenes of New York City life from the turn of the century in a more modern approach, blending the old with the new effortlessly.  Signed lower right, painted oil on board.

Cindy Shaoul was born in 1987 in New York. She is a visual listed American artist best known for her dreamy landscapes and Ashcan School style street scenes. With a Hungarian-Persian background that comes from a lineage of artists, Shaoul has matured unique expressions with her own voice and story to tell. She is the granddaughter and pupil of late world-renowned Hungarian artist Albert Sz. Nemethy, whose paintings can be found in the White House, the Kremlin in Russia, and Museums in the U.S. and Hungary. After completing her professional education at Emerson College in Boston, Shaoul later moved to Israel and Hungary to study culture and science while absorbing the energy of these new cities. In Budapest, she attended the Budai Art Institute from 2007-2009, later returning to New York City to continue her artistic education at the Art Students League, where she worked under the tutelage of Joseph Peller, Gregg Kreutz, and Tom Torak. In 2010 she met renowned street artist LA II (Angel Ortiz) who previously worked with Keith Haring in the late 1980’s. LA II strongly influenced her style with the powerful impact of 1980s hip-hop and graffiti. They began collaborating on a collection of exciting street art which later exhibited in Europe.
