City Art announces its newest exhibition of work by Ed Shmunes “Journeys: A Photographic Commentary” drawn from a traveler opening Thursday, March 3 from 5 to 8. This solo exhibition will run through April 2, 2016. “Whether it’s to Timbuktu or deeply within ourselves the Journey shapes us along the way.”

Edward Shmunes has been photographing for twenty-six years and more recently creating mixed media pieces with the addition of pastels, watercolor and soluble ink pencils. During this period his work has received 124  awards from among 37 international, 287 national, and 136 regional juried art exhibitions.

Ed comments, “Whether I’m dealing with whimsy, abstract, serious, figurative, or landscape material, I try to present an honest yet somewhat surreal commentary, always pushing to achieve a fresh and engaging approach.”
