New York Art Expo: great success of photographer Andreas Martin Fedrigo
'We've received a lot of positive feedback about your work 'ICE CREAM.' It's been such a pleasure seeing how people engage with it, and I can genuinely say it's adding something very special to the showcase. Thank you for being part of this with us—it's truly exciting to have your work here in New York.' This is what Patricia, the Head Curator Artboxy, writes to the young photographer Andreas Martin Fedrigo who exhibited 3 of his shots at the Art Expo in New York. The famous self-timer Ice Cream, which had already received many compliments at the Thomson Gallery exhibition in Zurich and the Andakulova Gallery in Dubai, has now moved many visitors to New York. We remind philanthropists the shot Is on sale in only one copy in the world and the money which will be earned will be donated to a non-profit association that has been helping young artists in various sectors of art for thirty years: Music, Singing, Photography, Painting, Sculpture, Writing, etc., organizing the Festival of Young Excellences to promote, bring together and collaborate with each other the truly talented artists under 30. For this charitable purpose, the photograph is sold in only one copy in the world at the price of € 150,000. The other works on display in New York are: SPIDERWEB, which has received many compliments from important European gallery owners and for the first time the playful shot is SUNGLASSES: SUN IN THE GLASSES. Playful and ironic shot, full of role-playing games and colors as is typical of Andreas Martin Fedrigo. The portrait of the human subject in the foreground almost disappears from the eyes of the observer, because in this shot the glasses become the protagonists. But in reality even the glasses suddenly disappear because the attention of the observer focuses on a beautiful sunset, on that bright and low sun that is about to dive from the sky into the sea . Sunglasses… or sun in the glasses… SPIDERWEB Sometimes the magic of life appears where no one expects it. Here a cobweb, the nightmare of women who love clean houses, becomes a magical moment for the artist to immortalize. When the rain has just passed and the drops of water still linger on the delicate threads of the spider web, the photographer's eye is able to capture images that escape others. This photograph by AS represents the perfect balance of weights, shapes, reflections and delicate plays of forces between existence and destruction, between being and non-being. Part of the web has been destroyed by the violent rain, but another part persists, stubborn and tenacious, like us at times, when we proudly and heroically resist the lashes of Destiny. Only three days, this fantastic exhibition in New York lasted, but certainly the city has shown great interest in this young Italian photographer who will be talked about in the future.
