Visualizing an orange subway train illuminated by harsh, cinematic lighting, this image captures the essence of New York City’s gritty yet colorful subway scene against a backdrop of a surreal, purple and pink sky, reminiscent of an 80s VHS tape. The distinct influence of artists like James Gilleard and Paul Catherall lends a stylized minimalistic design to the composition, which is intensified by the eerie, filmy quality akin to Toshio Saeki’s harsh lighting techniques. This representation, bathed in pink and purple hues amidst a grainy VHS effect, evokes the feel of retro, vaporwave aesthetics fused with the concrete jungle of New York. As the train, glowing softly under the neon sky, approaches a deserted platform, the surrounding darkness amplifies the solitude of the scene, drawing viewers into a nostalgic yet hyper-realistic tableau. This image serves as an outstanding example of how diverse artistic influences and media can be merged to create a new visual experience, typifying the creative possibilities found in examples of –sref commands in MidJourney.
