NER BECK: A Photography Exhibition of New York City Street Art

Ner Beck’s exhibition of strange street trees, living mannequins, scary traffic cones, smiling fire hydrants, discarded unhappy food items and even trash all come alive and speak to the viewer, expressing human emotions in a weird and wonderful way. Besides his fascination with face-finding and found art there is also a section on display of colorful prism-like reflections on shop windows. As a New York City graphic artist and designer he has had a lifelong interest in overlooked street art found on his daily walks throughout the city. “Every day, as New Yorkers hurriedly target their destinations they tend to aim themselves straight ahead, frequently missing these overlooked gems. The next time you travel on foot, try walking a little slower, relaxing and glancing around you. These small visual stories have always been there, some are permanent and others may disappear. Look for them, they are everywhere, waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.”
