Descriptions:
City As A Playground captures the rhythm and spontaneity of urban life through layered acrylic on canvas. Bold blocks of color, weathered textures, and expressive marks echo the energy of streets, structures, and fleeting moments of movement. The composition balances raw gestural strokes with quieter passages, creating a visual dialogue between chaos and calm.
Hints of architecture and open space emerge without fully defining themselves, inviting the viewer to explore the city as a place of curiosity, freedom, and play. At 24 x 36 inches, this original artwork brings a vibrant yet grounded presence to contemporary interiors and speaks to collectors drawn to abstract narratives rooted in everyday experience.

About The Artwork
expand_more
Growing up in the projects of Boston afforded me the experience of happily running through the streets where fences, concrete planters, benches, walls, and buildings were our playground. Mixed with trees, parks, patches of plants and grass, it was a time filled with wild textures I wouldn't fully appreciate until adulthood. Back then? Simple joy.

About the artist

My name is Tobi Beck. I am a visual artist based in Southern California.I paint intuitively in acrylic; relying on openness and in-the-moment honesty to release my feelings into smudges of freedom. Born and raised in the projects of South Boston, the gritty textures of the city can be seen in my grungy mark making, reminiscent of old, stained brick and ripped stickers on light poles - memories and a moodiness that inspires my abstract, edgy style. Give me a street corner in the rain any day.
