Red Grooms was a pioneer of site-specific sculpture and installation art. Combining painting, sculpture and multimedia elements, Grooms created immersive, interactive spaces that captured the energy and vibrancy of his subject matter. City at Night is a scaled down version of his often room-sized works but is no less animated and interactive. Composed of thirty-three hand painted and carved wooden puzzle pieces arranged in a lightbox, the overall effect is bustling and bright. Further adding to the artist’s playfulness, the box comes with a lid painted to resemble an oversized puzzle game box, and a hand-painted instruction manual.
