On The Way collects a series of drawings created by Shanghai based artist Yiran Guo (Eva), which depict strangers in transit on the streets and subway lines of New York City. Guo’s works capture the spontaneous humanity on display in the rushing crowds of NYC, rendered in the fluid line-work and scratchy tonal values of graphite and colored pencil. This edition carries the viewer from the summer and fall of 2019 through the devastating early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and the city’s tentative re-emergence from lockdown in the summer of 2020.
