Amazing Contemporary Artists

David Allee

David Alle
Chromogenic fine art prints.
"Allee's photographs expose anonymous places in our contemporary landscape where the forces of architecture, planning, and design have become blurred. Parks, garages, commercial properties and apartment complexes overlap and sit side-by-side, resulting in strange spatial compositions and unusual functional combinations. Using large format negatives and long exposure times, Allee has depicted many of these places at night, enhancing and emphasizing the artificial and synthetic nature of the landscapes. He dramatically captures these "cross lands," which have arisen to fulfill economic and spatial demands of our cities and suburbs as they rapidly grow, merge, and redevelop." - Read the entire press Morgan Lehman show press release.

"I believe in the power of art..." - Robert Longo

Robert Longo first became famous in the 1980s for his "Men in the Cities" series, illustrations of figures in professional attire contorted in strange, animated body positions. His new, large scale drawings at Metro Pictures are definitely worth viewing.
