Viridian Artists is pleased to announce OUR CITY, a photography exhibition by architect and photographer ALAN GAYNOR, featuring powerful, intimate perspectives of New York City’s architecture. This is Gaynor’s fifth solo exhibition with the gallery. The show will be on view from February 17 through March 7, 2026, with an Opening Reception on Thursday, February 19, from 6–8 PM, and a Closing Reception on Saturday, March 7, from 4–6 PM.

OUR CITY represents another chapter in Alan Gaynor’s ongoing exploration of the built environment, inviting viewers to experience Manhattan’s architecture not as scenery, but as a commanding and evocative presence. In his Cityscapes series, he photographs the city’s skyscrapers as layered structures of concrete, steel, and glass, rendered with exceptional precision and scale. Stripped of human inhabitants, these colossal constructions emerge as subject and musical reference, transforming the frenetic heartbeat of the metropolis into a powerful stillness.

Alan Gaynor has been exhibiting his photography since 2000. He studied with renowned photographers including Ansel Adams’ chief assistant, John Sexton, George Tice, Jock Sturges, and David Vestal. His work has been widely shown at galleries such as Limner Gallery, The Space Gallery, Soho Photo, SE Center for Photography, Garrison Art Center, Black Box Gallery, ADC Gallery, Camera Obscura, and others. Gaynor has received numerous awards, including a Bronze Award in the 2012 International Loupe Awards, as well as honors from Terabella Media Urban Landscape, Epson International, and the Tank Photo Award. His photographs have appeared in publications including Brooklyn Rail, Gallery & Studio, Shadow & Light Magazine, Photographers Forum, The Photo Paper, and others.
