hot town, summer in the city
July 10, 2008 9:52 am

Unfortunates stuck in a hot metropolis this summer will appreciate London’s Mumford Fine Art’s effort to make cities seem cool. “The City,” on view at Mumford’s Soho Rooftop Gallery, includes three artists from three different urban centers who make a strong case for the beauty of a glittering, pulsating, even steaming cityscape. Robert M. Swedroe’s “Cyber” collages use interior-decorating samples and architectural illustrations to show off the vibrant Pop potency of Miami. New Yorker Stephen Canino depicts the Big Apple’s manic energy through exuberant abstraction. And Notting Hill-based photographer Emily Anderson’s triptych “An Eye View of Trelick Tower (London),” which she shot from a ladder perched on the tower (which brought her to a height of 332 feet from the ground), first ran in Matchbox magazine, which declared that the work makes one “proud to be a Londoner.” Hamptons: your move.
