Overview

Introducing The Broken Skyline, an Art book centered around the iconic and ironic skyline of New York City. It is inspired by the paintings I've made over the years and my concern for the ecological challenges and environmental issues facing our world.

The Broken Skyline is a compelling book with a message of hope. The world is becoming lifeless, and hearts are filled with hopelessness. The book discusses many deep heart-touching topics that will compel readers to immerse more in the eBook.

The Neo-expressionism artwork will transport readers to another world.

Eloy, the author, has made non living objects emotional beings with the power of his pen. Showing their vulnerable side and how hopeful they are despite everything happening.

"Sometimes the homeless would use Garbage Bag as a bed or pillow."

A simple straight-to-the-point story: a Garbage Bag lives by the Hudson River and falls in love with the Flatiron Building. It is friends with the Manhattan Bridge, Fast City Highways and The Chrysler Cat Building. It's born on a popular corner everyday. It experiences things only an inanimate object can experience and is like snippets into the everyday things that occur and happen to it and lets the reader see and feel them. Inanimate objects move, the buildings move, the parking meters talk, all the structures morph: the Manhattan Bridge becomes a Spider, The Chrysler Cat prowls through the city, The Empire Snake Building slithers, sheds its skin and becomes the Saxophone State Building later. The story unfolds as Garbage bag's love for The Flatiron Building blooms. The skyline is broken because of further events and stories. A few selected passages are written in Spanish and English.

Follow artist-turned-author Eloy as he takes you on a whimsical journey throughout the city, highlighting its most famous landmarks. From the Flatiron building to The Empire State Building, and the Brooklyn Bridge to the Hudson river, this art book is a must-have for any New Yorker young or old.
