NEW YORK - Professional photographer and Kauai resident David Allio is to be among the featured artists in the
September's NY Arts Magazine. The image selected for publication is a copy of the original artwork entitled:
"Sisters in Skin and Stone." This collector's piece features professional model Catalina Lissett Fontanez
with "Dufay," an original sculpture by A.A. Solomon, and was originally commissioned in 2005 for the
musee-solomon gallery.
"Although my photographs and artworks have been displayed in galleries throughout the world, this offer from
NY Arts Magazine was certainly unexpected," Allio admitted. "As recently as March of this year, I was
urged by working professionals that New York City is the hub of the art world, and that if I intended to receive
professional compensation and recognition for my photographic work that I should re-locate there. Instead, I
chose to bring my talents and workshops to the beauty of Kauai."
In addition to publishing a copy of the original artwork, initially valued at $3500, NY Arts Magazine also
indicated that they would include biographical information and Allio's artist statement: "The friction of
inspiration against imagination creates the spark of unique visions."
"I have just finished reviewing your website and I am interested in the works you present," Stefan Fahrer
of NY Arts Magazine said in his introductory correspondence. According to Fahrar, the publication and web presence
bring together "exciting artists" from around the world.
NY Arts Magazine is a monthly magazine distributed to galleries, curators, collectors, dealers, museums, designers,
