Art of the City Wall (Berlin & New York)
As a Visual Hunter, Bill has traveled to 13 countries searching city walls for transformational photographic art that has been largely unseen. The focus of this exhibit will be on two cities, Berlin and New York with just a small fraction of the series photography.

In addition, for the first time, Bill is showing two new abstract photography projects shot in the same cities entitled “5 Abstracts / 5 Pointz, Long Island City” (2014) and “Art School Abstract Gates, East Berlin”(2015)

The last discovery in this exhibit will be the photographic print itself since all images are displayed unframed. Today, photographs appear to be centered in the ether of the internet. We have largely lost the experience of touching the print itself. For snapshots this is the new reality but for the Art of Photography, the physical print and its foreverness is the end product. We experience galleries and museums with photographs behind glass …our own reflection clouding our view as we step in close. Is it just preservation or do barriers of glass isolate us from the real art with its tactile elements of paper and ink…the essence of the Art of Photography.
The prints in this exhibit have a particular artistic intent. Nothing is done by chance… not the image composition, the paper choice or printing technique. Look at them up close, touch them and explore the nuances of Bill's photographic art.
