Three artists chosen to exhibit in the Art of New York: Annual Juried Art Show in 2022 show their work in the Regional Art Galleries from March 3 - April 30, 2023
Todd Boebel - Steeples along the Mohawk and Schoharie
“What happens to an old church once its doors are closed?” Using black & white views of discreet church exteriors, Boebel traces the development of church architecture in the region through the nineteenth century while shedding light on its Protestant past and present. There are examples of churches abandoned, churches that have taken on diminished roles or have been repurposed, and others that remain open and reflect the simplicity of rural believers.
Robert Coppola - Frame of Mind
Robert Coppola’s urban upbringing is reflected in his approach to photography; “My landscapes are nostalgic. Photographed in multiple locations, the urban landscapes depict the present reimagined. The rural landscapes betray my awe of the natural beauty of open spaces where farms dot the landscape.”
Phil Scalia - The Snows of Canajoharie
Phil Scalia’s photographs celebrate the raw intensity, danger, and sparse beauty of the rural landscape in winter. “I like to go out in the worst weather, it gives an edge to the shooting. It's scary, it's addictive. A mistake can kill you. I spend as much time gear-tweaking clothing and snow tires as photo gear.”
