Judge’s Comments:
“Man in Rain” has a film noir quality to it and the content and visual forms are well matched. Strong contrast and jarring angular shapes give a mood of cynicism. We see what appears to be a businessman rushing past another (blind or homeless) person hidden in the shadows. There is an element of surprise. Which man does the title refer to? The artist does a fine job of capturing a strong mood in a specific moment in time.
