Blue Gallery Contemporary Art presents “THE ART OF
ROCK N’ ROLL,” a photographic collection of rare and iconic entertainment
images by esteemed photographer Larry Marano, on Saturday, December 14 and
Sunday, December 15. The exhibit
is co-sponsored by Getty Images and Calumet Photographic Ft. Lauderdale. A wine
reception on December 14 will take place at 6 p.m. in Blue Gallery located at
713A East Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale.
“THE ART OF ROCK N’ ROLL” is comprised of a collection
of larger-than-life images capturing the unbridled spirit and sheer electricity
of classic rock’s most revered artists including Freddie Mercury of Queen; Paul
Stanley and Ace Frehley of KISS; Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses, Ozzy Osbourne,
Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth of Van Halen; Ian Astbury of The Cult, Kid
Rock; James Hetfield of Metallica and Jon Bon Jovi, among others.
Larry Marano has been honing his photographic art for
over 30 years. Originally from New York City, Marano has been skillfully
capturing the worldwide entertainment industry’s biggest and brightest
celebrities since 1976. A dedicated fan of hard rock and heavy metal music,
Marano began his career photographing artists at prestigious venues including
Madison Square Garden, the Palladium, the Cat Club, the Ritz, CBGBs, L’Amour –
the Rock Capital of Brooklyn and the Club Sundance.
“Growing up, I was always intrigued by the way these
rockers looked on stage – their proud swagger and inimitable wild stage
presence - they were inspiring,” said Marano. “Then, as I became interested in
photography, the camera led me back to the concerts that I loved going to. It
was a natural path for me to embrace what I loved most and so I focused my
career on capturing these rock ‘n’ roll icons on film.”
For the past 15 years, Marano has lived and worked in
South Florida, most notably for Getty Images. His work on behalf of Getty
Images has appeared internationally in publications such as Rolling Stone and Spin magazines and on websites for The Guardian UK, The Daily
Beast, Ocean Drive, InStyle, USA Today, Fox News, The New York Post and Forbes, to name just a few.
