Affinity with Brazil:1982-Present, an exhibition of photographs by Charles

Martin reflecting near four decades of his absorbed attraction with Brazil – its environment, people, customs, and architecture, will open at the June Kelly Gallery,

166 Mercer Street, on Friday, Sept 11th. The work will remain on view through October 6th.

While Martin says his photographs are usually unplanned and carried out quickly, there is the sense of instantaneous and deep connection with his subjects. Keen perceptiveness is probable primacy for Martin in his observation of everyday reality in Brazil – region after region.
