This was from some artwork on a subway car, commissioned through the MTA's "Arts For Transit" program. Now I'm all for art..and art in the subway. Especially seeing art when I crammed up against some guy who smells and talks to himself.
But does the artwork have to feature mass transit motifs. Isn't there something a little unpleasant about this urban scene, a place where 40 tons of elevated track carry subway cars rattling every brick in the neighborhood?
I have a bunch of examples when a concept is foisted upon a brand or copy and it's like building a bridge to nowhere. Here, they have 3 images, 3 statements all united by the color blue. Except, they couldn't come up with a third image that made any sense. So they figured...so what! It's a blue apple!
