After Beating Cancer, a Former Attorney Photographs a City's Spirit

New York City's glittering landmarks—Times Square, Broadway, Fifth Avenue—have been photographed endlessly. Yet for artist Xiomaro, the true essence of the city lives in its unguarded moments. After surviving cancer and leaving behind a successful law career, he turned to photography to reconnect with life. His book, Street Photography of New York City: Street Haunting in the Big Apple (America Through Time, an imprint of Sutton Publishing), transforms the familiar streets of Manhattan into a vivid study of humanity's resilience, humor, and mystery.

Tatyana Kazakova: "Afterland"

by Tris McCall
published 2025-11-12

Artists have been rebelling against the frame for a long time. Painters put borders around their pictures and are immediately filled with an overwhelming urge to shatter them. Never mind that it is the artist herself who imposes the limits. Her images push hard against the lines that confine them anyway. Sometimes the pot boils over and the work spills over the frame and into the white space beyond, or drips down the edges and on to the walls.

Allan Gorman & Bryant Small: "Color, Inside and Outside the Lines"

Pity poor paper. It really wants to be glass. Ditto for canvas. It isn't glass, either, and it rankles at its own opacity. Sometimes it feels like the entire reason painters add brilliant pigment to panels is to help stiff surfaces achieve the peaceable qualities of a windowpane. Glass doesn't fight the light. It acquiesces to its demands for penetration. Glass lets the illumination in, and when it does, it amplifies its brilliant shine.





Nobuho Nagasawa: "The Atomic Cowboy"

It says something about the amount of peril in today's world that nuclear holocaust has lost ground to other horsemen of the apocalypse. Pandemics, environmental collapse, fascist ascendancies and the spread of carceral states: they haven't chase the mushroom cloud from our nightmares, but they've eaten into its apocalyptic market share. The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 took a little bit of the Cold War pressure off. No longer were we face to face with the ICBM. It was still there, dangling above us, but there was suddenly some breathing space between the payload and our poor tender heads.



Max Budnick & Francesca Reyes: "Your House & Mine"

by Tris McCall
published 2025-10-15

How many animals are nesting in your vicinity? I don't mean pets, necessarily, although you might have a few of those at your feet. I mean plushies, statuettes, depictions of critters, sketches and drawings of fauna charismatic and humble. Though we live in the city, many of us dwell by choice in private bestiaries. Even as we put up walls to keep the outdoors at bay, we invite representations of the feral world into our sanctuary.



JCAST 2025 - The 36th Annual Jersey City Art & Studio Tour

I don't know how apocryphal it was, but I used to hear the informal designations all the time. Newark, I was told, was the place to get a kilo. Hence its nickname: Brick City. If you had a beef, you might take it up in infamous Illtown, properly known as East Orange. But people didn't fight in Jersey City. This town was considered gang truce territory, and this was the secret meaning behind our not-so-secret handle. Our nickname was Chilltown. We even had a Chilltown Magazine. I wrote for it.



"ICU/USA"

You're on edge. Why wouldn't you be? Masked police are rounding up people on the streets of American cities. Those detained are shipped to private detention centers that exist in a blank zone beyond judicial oversight or regional supervision. This weekend, The Guardian described a CoreCivic prison in the California desert as hell on earth: crowded, unsanitary conditions, dirty water, torture, unconscious inmates denied medication. Shirsho Dashgupta of the Miami Herald reported that more than two-thirds of the men incarcerated in Alligator Alcatraz cannot presently be accounted for. Shortly after delivering a speech that echoed Joseph Goebbels's rhetoric, Stephen Miller celebrated NSPM-7, a White House directive that criminalizes dissent and empowers federal investigators to lay a dragnet and start the engine. In this febrile environment the President has announced his intention to send the army — the United States armed forces — to Portland, Oregon, treating it as a rebellious province that needs to be subdued.
