Grand Central Series
An Exhibition of Photographs by Mary Cathryn Roth
December 15-January 30
Phyllis Lucas Gallery/Old Print Center, 981 Second Avenue
New York, NY 10022
M-F 10 am-5 pm., Sat/Sun 2 pm to 5pm ; Tel 212.755.1516

A series of black and white photographs which transform the cacophony of Grand Central station during rush hour into subtle kinetic tapestries of light and shadow reminiscent of futurism and abstract expressionism in painting. Roth achieves an inimitably painterly style that is a stunning and refreshingly new "photosynthesis" in the great tradition of New York City photography.

Dialogue Series: Baaba Maal is an interpretation of the beauty and strength of the performance of the Senegalese musician, Baaba Maal, and his group at Africa Fete, 1999. The photographs capture moments in motion in a way that elevates ordinary existence to a level of ethereal abstraction. The power of the images transcends the visual dimension and makes us feel as if we can almost hear the music and rhythms of the players. The first in a series of exhibitions entitled Spiritual Stirrings portraying the spiritual connection of music, dance and the body in motion across cultures.
