Two large, rectangular framed paintings hang side-by-side on a light grey wall in what appears to be an art gallery in Athina, Greece. Both artworks are presented in gold-colored frames. The left painting depicts a complex, geometric architectural facade rendered in muted tones of grey, black, and white, with subtle hints of light brown and blue. It features numerous dark, rectangular window-like openings, some with internal details. On the far left, a light-colored scaffolding or crane structure supports a striped awning or fabric element in blue and white. A bright blue rectangular container or structure is visible towards the lower middle. Vertically written in light capital letters is the word "NEON." The overall lighting suggests a daytime or dusk scene, with shadows playing across the structure. The right painting presents a similar architectural structure but is dramatically transformed by lighting, portraying a nighttime scene. The color palette is predominantly dark, almost black, with many rectangular sections glowing with warm yellow, orange, and light brown hues, representing illuminated interior spaces or windows. Small circular white elements, likely streetlights or internal lights, punctuate the dark background. The word "NEON" is also visible vertically on this painting, in a similar style to its counterpart. The contrast between the stark darkness and the glowing windows creates a vibrant, urban night atmosphere. Above the gap between the two paintings, two small white information cards are affixed to the wall. Although partially blurry, they identify the artist as Konstantinos Xenakis and the title as "NEON," dated 1966, indicating these are part of a diptych exploring the theme of urban transformation from day to night. There are no people visible in the image or depicted in the artworks.
