About The Artwork
Large print on textile fabric. Shot in one of my favorite buildings on the Upper WestSide; The Ansonia. The Ansonia was a residential hotel. The residents lived in "luxurious" apartments with multiple bedrooms, parlors, libraries, and formal dining rooms that were often round or oval. Apartments featured views north and south along Broadway, high ceilings, "elegant" moldings, and bay windows. There were three thousand rooms. Arrangements could be made to rent a suite varying in size from a room and a bath to thirty rooms. Some of these suites were rented for $14,000 a year,[9] the equivalent of more than $400,000 in 2018. The smaller units, with one bedroom, parlor, and bath, lacked kitchens. There was a central kitchen and serving kitchens on every floor, so that the residents could enjoy the services of professional chefs while dining in their own apartments. Besides the usual array of tearooms, restaurants, and a grand ballroom, the Ansonia had Turkish baths and a lobby fountain with live seals. Erected between 1899 and 1904, it was the largest residential hotel of its day and the first air-conditioned hotel in New York. The building has an eighteen-story steel-frame structure. The exterior is decorated in the Beaux-Art style with a Parisian style mansard roof. The Ansonia features round corner-towers or turrets and an open stairwell that sweeps up to a domed skylight. Ansonia Hotel The building's copper cornices were removed during World War II and melted down for the war effort.[10] The Ansonia has had many celebrated residents, including baseball player Babe Ruth; writer Theodore Dreiser, in 1912; the leader of the Bahá'í Faith `Abdu'l-Bahá; Nobel prize winner in literature Isaac Bashevitz Singer; conductor Arturo Toscanini; composer Igor Stravinsky; fashion designer Koos van den Akker; and Italian tenor Enrico Caruso.

Denise's black and white photography captures a freshness to New York City’s architecture by focusing in on less obvious details, while adding a compelling dynamism by overlaying multiple layers of light and shadow, resulting in a graphic and bold quality of a once familiar scene. Born and raised on Long Island, NY, Denise graduated in 1990 from The School of Visual Arts in New York City with a BFA in Advertising, where she first discovered her obsession for urban street life and architecture. As an art director in advertising, Denise went on photoshoots all over the world, and during down-time shot urban scenes with her Pentax PE3 35mm film camera. In 1996, after an illicit attempt to shoot the Sistine Chapel ceiling, she accidentally left her camera in the back seat of a taxi cab, rendering her camera-less for years. In 2014, a Creative Director in NYC, Denise began shooting again to escape an emotionally painful divorce, resulting in her project, In Detail. A New Yorker’s Obsession. In February 2017, a curator discovered her work online, and invited her to exhibit at Paralax Art Fair in London. And has since exhibited with The Other Art Fair of Saatchi Art, MvVO at Sotheby’s, and Art Below's UK Underground. Her work will exhibit on outdoor kiosks in Chelsea, NYC during Frieze week. After years of walking around cities all over the world, and now living on the Upper West Side of New York City, I find myself selecting moments that have inspired me and elevated me. Multi-layering makes work that is strikingly bold and memorable. As a Creative Director and Artist, what I hope more than anything is that the viewer feels each moment in my photographs, and yet makes it his or her own. This transference of a moment in time is the passion—the obsession—that drives my photography. And I can't stop. Every street corner leads to another possibility, on this amazing never-ending journey. Come join me.
