About the Item

" Mannequins, yellow cabs and a big, shiny display window (combined) are one of the most quintessential scene of New York City. Shot in SoHo, I wanted the abstracted reflections of the crosswalks to overlap with the backgrounds behind the display window to mimic movement of the cab as it crosses this intersection. The mannequins help the viewers to subconsciously "empathize" with the scenes since they do represent us humans. The close-up helps the viewers to feel and be a witness of the scene as if they are right there. I produce these prints mostly in Acrylic to duplicate the relection of the window...again, so you feel you are right there. Lastly, stare at it long enough, you probably won't even notice that only the yellow cab has colors, but because we New Yorkers see them so often that they have become background and therefore, most likely not even stand out against the black & white of the rest of the image. " New York City based wildlife and street photographer Viet Chu, captured this remarkable shot of a corner NYC fashion store window, the reflecting light and stores opposite, as a taxi passes by. This everyday life scene from a city street was captured in an angular dimension to create a dreamlike image. Chu’s focus is to inspire us with its strength and grace. Viet Chu is an artist, technologist and world traveler and finds beauty in life’s special moments in time, capturing each in his photography. His work is a reflection of his journey and experiences. As a world traveler for photographic assignments, Viet Chu finds beauty in life’s special moments in time, capturing each in his photographs. His work is a reflection of his journey’s and experiences. In his approach to capture an image, he utilizes traditional and non-traditional means of lighting and infuse it with an intuitive sensibility, which is then converged with emotional intelligence to create a simple net composition of shadows and light, of subject and background, of space and inter-space, all with the goal of stopping a moment of time that tells a story for the rest of time.

Luciano Pavarotti (Edition of 100) - 20"x24"
By Dan Springer
Located in New York, NY
This 2013 fine art print caricature, is legend opera star Luciano Pavarotti (1935-2007), the most commercially successful tenor of all time, holding the honorific title "King of the High Cs". This caricature was created by artist Dan Springer and shows the maestro singing, mouth wide open, hitting the highest notes in Opera on a Red-Maroon. It was mastered from the original drawing in high resolution digital format and reproduced in a numbered-edition series, on fine art archival pigment paper. Dan’s focus is to elevate the personalities of iconic celebrities by using exaggerations of some of their physical characteristics and also an oversimplification of others. Dan Springer states: “There’s the character and then the caricature. If it’s a celebrity, there’s always a persona that’s a caricature outside of who the celebrity is but in different layers. My goal is to bring out those layers of the character, in a caricature format that is defined by their facial image and their eccentricities.” Dan Springer received his formal art training at the Rhode Island School of Design where he received his BFA in Illustration in 1991. Since then, he has done freelance illustration for various publications including "The New York Times", "The Village Voice", and "Avenue" magazine. He started his fine art career in 1996 when he founded the "4E Gallery" in Tribeca where he and his partner showed various artists, as well as their own work every month. He also showed at numerous galleries and clubs, including the "Ace Gallery", the "Gershwin Gallery", "The Tunnel" and "Faces and Names", (161 W. 54th St.), and "Rumours" (8th Ave. & 55th St.) where he has a permanent exhibition. He has also done live caricatures at "Faces and Names" since they opened in 1997. He has worked as a caricature artist since 1991, including work at Six Flags...
