"Transformations: New York Meets Rome in Art"
Exhibit To Support The Italian Charities Of America
New Century Artists Gallery, N.Y.C.
(April 29 - May 10, 2008)
Artists: Max Victor Alper and Francesco Ferlisi |
The New Century Artists Gallery is pleased to announce a special exhibition, “Transformations: New York Meets Rome in Art” featuring the fine art photography of Max Victor Alper and the paintings of Francesco Ferlisi. This exhibit – which originated in Rome, Italy, in March 2007 – is a benefit for the Italian Charities of America. The show will open in the United States at the New Century Artists Gallery, 530 West 25th Street, Suite 406, New York, NY 10001, and is scheduled from April 29 through May 10, 2008.
Max Victor Alper, who resides in New York City, is a fine art photographer. A former faculty member and administrator at New York University, he has exhibited photographs in numerous galleries throughout the United States and in Europe. He has published two books (Macmillan) which include 100 of his photographs. Alper also has written and narrated a radio series for WGBH-Boston.
In this exhibit, “Transformations,” Alper portrays unconventional and distorted portraits. They represent individuals who modify their personalities and hide their identities. Transformation of the faces is achieved through exaggerated expressions, decorative make-up, startling masks, and lighting patterns. Other visual techniques include double exposures, diffusion filters, and reflecting patterns of light off glass and mirrored surfaces. Powerful and intriguing, these fantasy images have earned Alper praise by critics as “a photographic artist of transcendent gifts” and a “true visionary.”
Francesco Ferlisi, who resides in Rome, is a well-known Italian painter. His acclaimed work has been exhibited in numerous galleries throughout Europe and South America. He has appeared on major European television and radio programs.
Ferlisi's paintings on display depict transformed landscapes. They are grounded in realism, but the geometric patterns and deftly modulated colors produce disguised, symbolic environments. Without people, they present a mechanistic universe, a world dominated by extraordinary forms – lonely but filled with possibilities. These mysterious images surprise viewers with their bold inventiveness.
Gallery hours for this exhibition are Tuesday through Saturday, 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. The reception is Saturday, May 3, 2008, from 3:00 to 6:00 pm. A Benefit for the Italian Charities of America. |
