Capturing urban landscapes nostalgic of the American past Mark Marchesi illustrates what was, by what is. The pictures of street scenes, houses, buildings, warehouses come together to construct the systematic vision of the author. From the outskirts of New York where he was born in 1977 to Maine where he now lives, it is here and now that Mark Marchesi accomplished a key piece of work in his series The Town and the City. In 2008 he exhibited his work for the first time at the Nelson Hancock Gallery in Brooklyn.
