Brooklyn painter Molly Dilworth has been selected to adorn nearly a half mile of Times Square real estate with her artwork.

She beat out 150 other artists who submitted proposals to the reNEWable Times Square Design Competition. She will cover seven city blocks — from 42nd to 47th street on Broadway — with reflective blue-hued paint in an abstract composition, inspired by by NASA’s infrared satellite data of Manhattan. The area is traversed by 350,000 pedestrians a day, according to the city’s RFP for the competition. The installation will be completed in July and is temporary.

The project is intended to “revive the streetscape designs currently at the Times Square pedestrian plazas,” according to a press release from Hendershot Gallery, the artist’s dealer.

Dilworth is accustomed to a large canvas. Since 2009 she has been painting rooftops. A semi-permanent installation is on view at Hendershot at 547 West 27th Street.
