Forest Hills photographer Max Victor Alper is currently exhibiting his photographs to benefit the Maspeth-based organization Italian Charities of America.
“Transformations: New York Meets Rome in Art” opened in New Century Artists Gallery on April 29. It features the photography of Alper and the paintings of Francesco Ferlisi.
Alper, who formerly worked at New York University as a member of the faculty and administrator, has displayed his work in the United States and in Europe. He has also published many of his photographs in two different books.
The works of Rome artist Ferlisi have been exhibited in Europe and South America.
In the newly opened exhibition, Alper has included “unconventional and distorted portraits, many spotlighting people who live in Queens and participated in the creation of this series of photographs.” Their faces were then transformed using various visual techniques.
Ferlisi has contributed paintings of transformed landscapes that “are grounded in realism, but the geometric patterns deftly modulated colors produce disguised symbolic environments.”
“Transformations: New York Meets Rome in Art” will be on display at New Century Artists Gallery through Saturday, May 24. The gallery is located at 530 West 25th Street, Suite 406, in Manhattan. Its hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
