GRANDmarks - NYC
Photographer Andrew Darlow to Exhibit Prints of New York City Landmarks.

New Brunswick, NJ, March 2, 2009 - Alfa Art Gallery is pleased to announce the solo exhibition “GRANDmarks - NYC,” a series of prints created by award winning author and photographer Andrew Darlow. This collection of Darlow’s photographic work features New York City landmarks, including the Empire State Building, The Chrysler Building, the Brooklyn Bridge and The Flatiron Building. Two distinct groups of prints will share the gallery’s walls–framed color inkjet prints on paper, and black and white large-scale inkjet prints on canvas. Many of the images will be shown for the first time ever.

The exhibition will be on display from March 27 through April 15, 2009 at Alfa Art Gallery, 108 Church Street, New Brunswick, NJ 08901. An artist’s reception and book signing will be held on Friday, March 27, 2009 from 6:00pm–9:00pm, and is open to the public. At 7:30pm, Andrew Darlow will conduct a brief lecture about the series. Gallery hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 11am-7pm.

“New York City has held a special place in my heart and soul for as long as I can remember, says Darlow. The city’s landmarks, from iconic restaurants to historic bridges and skyscrapers, have drawn me in with their magical beauty and presence. Through this body of work, I intend to share my love for the city, while giving viewers a look through my lens.”

The printing processes Darlow chose for this show includes canvas, fiber gloss/fiber semi-gloss, and watercolor papers, all produced by Darlow on Epson and HP pigment ink printers. A series of workshops by Andrew Darlow as well as other photographers will be held throughout the exhibition period. For more information, visit www.alfaart.org.
