Photographs taken during a recent trip to the Ukraine will be the focus of an upcoming two-person exhibition featuring MMW instructor Sylvia Plachy. The exhibition, Sylvia Plachy & Gyorgy Beck [Metaphysical Landscapes] will be on view through July 1, with an opening reception on Saturday, May 15 from 6-8pm at the Salamatina Gallery in Manhasset, NY.
The exhibition features two friends, Plachy and Beck, who are both well-known Hungarian-born artists in their own right. In addition to photographs they produced during their January 2010 trip to the Ukraine, a selection of both black and white and color images from throughout each artist’s career will be on view.
Sylvia Plachy is a celebrated photographer and photo essayist whose work is in many of the world’s major collections. In February she was given the prestigious Dr. Erich Salomon award for lifetime achievement in photojournalism. This summer she will teach her third workshop at Maine Media, Where the Thread Leads, from June 20-26.
