Take Out captures the chaotic poetry of New York City’s underbelly — a place where neon signage, greasy spoons, and fire escape conversations collide. With its thick textures, aggressive brushstrokes, and dripping layers of paint, the piece plays on the double meaning of "take out" — not just food to-go, but perhaps something (or someone) being removed, consumed, or discarded.

The red-lettered sign explodes across the canvas like a command, hovering above an abstracted city façade, complete with distorted windows and hazy, pink-lit figures peering from the fire escape. The composition hums with the tension of urban life — transactional, loud, intimate, and absurd all at once. It’s raw, unfiltered New York, delivered hot.
