Alex Korolkovas

Bio: Alex Korolkovas was born and raised in São Paulo, Brazil, and first regards himself as an artist, second. In 1992 he moved to Los Angeles and refined his vessel at the Art Center College of Design and worked as a master printer before he devoted himself full -time to photography. His work combines reality and fantasy, capturing human stories through powerful expressions and emotions. With a background in both art and fashion, Alex has worked with magazines of world class such as Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Glamor and Cosmopolitan, as well as celebrities and athletes on campaigns in the US, Brazilian and Asian markets.
Artist Statement: New York upside down is my first photographic series made in New York, approached with the curiosity of an outsider and the rhythm of my Brazilian roots. Pulled to the graphism of the city, are daring lines, contrasts and layered geometry. I made each image completely in the camera with the help of double lighting: the first frame as it is, the second with the camera was completely turned upside down. This inversion transforms well -known street capes into abstract compositions where architecture clashes with itself and merge reflections with shadows.
Robert A. Ripps

Bio: Robert A. Ripps Personal Work was born and raised in New York City and investigates the interaction and interaction of nature and the world made by humans, both visually and technically. He received his BFA in photography from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and studied at the Center for Creative Imaging (CCI) and Maine Media Workshops.
Robert has won countless prizes, including one of the 200 best digital artists (2023) by Lürzer’s Archive, Inclusion in American photography 36 and 39 annual award books, honorable mention in the 2021 IPA Int’l Photography Awards, several awards of the Poloto -District News.
In 2020 he was included in the #icpconcerned exhibition, a selection of photos collected from the ICP relevant hashtag on Instagram, and displayed in the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York.
Robert’s most recent solo exhibition, Negativity Abounds, was in the Christine Frechard Gallery in Pittsburgh.
Artist Statement: This ongoing project started as a reaction to the political climate in the country in recent years- everything seems to be about negativity, about division, about what truth is (and what is undoubtedly false, but still praised as truth), how the surface of things can be 180 degrees compared to what is underneath. It is about untruths and unseen influence. What was known and perhaps everyday has now taken on a sense of surrealism and unfamiliarity, so that we make our insecure, confused and helpless, powerless to have control in events that influence our daily lives.
Viewers are encouraged to enjoy the beauty of the images, while they also recognize the incongruence and surrealism they present, which hopefully encourages them to look deeper at things they experience, as they are presented to them in the media or social media, and now the government, is often not reality and rarely objective.

Artist Statement: My constantly illustrated postcard series reflects an attempt to catch part of the charm and wonder of my house, New York City.

Artist Statement: The 59one Street bridge is part of a series of bridge paintings that use the wooden panel as an element, with the camouflage forms of the grain of air or becoming water against the daring linear quality of the subject. My work is about place and our connections and the NY bridges have always had a connection for me. From growing up in Queens with Manhattan Roots and Brooklyn family members to the life of years at the Lower East Side, they are still an always present part of my life.

Artist Statement: My cityscapes from New York, made between 2005 and 2014, were a way for me to discover and celebrate a city where I had been moved new to in 2001. Painting, mainly Plein-Air paintings and drawings made on the street, was a way to create a record of a city that always changed. This painting was started, for example, when the power plant of the vinegar hill had four smoking stacks at the end of the painting it only had one.
