WAYNE, Pa. - Dec. 11, 2023 - PRLog -- The prosperity that marked early 20th-century America birthed a skyline transformation, witnessed in the towering edifices that define cityscapes nationwide. Amidst the grandeur of these monumental structures, hidden in plain sight, lies a captivating narrative—an untold story of character, craftsmanship, and unique details concealed at their summits. Enter the realm of the Highrises Collection—an extraordinary exposition curated by Chris Hytha, an architectural virtuoso turned visionary photographer and digital artist.

The Highrises Collection, presented by Colonna Contemporary, invites patrons on an immersive journey, peeling back the layers of time and concrete to uncover the soulful essence of America's most revered skyscrapers. What sets this exhibition apart is its unyielding focus on the obscured, the overlooked—the enchanting details that remain elusive from street-level observations.

Chris Hytha, the ingenious mind behind this visual extravaganza, honed his craft at Drexel University, graduating in the distinguished class of 2021. His illustrious accolades include the prestigious Pearson Prize Gold Medal, an esteemed recognition for his groundbreaking senior project "Centre Square Station." As a fusion between architectural finesse and an evolving passion for photography and digital art, Chris's evolution as an artist is remarkable.

"Ethereal street and cityscape images were the genesis of my artistic journey," Chris Hytha reflects. "But it was the innate curiosity about the personality, the aura of various architectural forms that led me to delve deeper. From the quaint Philadelphia rowhomes to the towering historic skyscrapers, each structure has its own story waiting to be unveiled."

The Highrises Collection transcends the conventional understanding of architectural marvels. It brings forth a visual symphony of captured moments, unveiling the craftsmanship and narratives etched into the crowns of these American icons. Through Chris Hytha's lens, audiences will encounter the hitherto unseen: the intricate ornamentation, the whispered tales of construction, and the indomitable spirit that resonates within these steel-and-glass behemoths.

This exhibition is more than a mere display of artistic prowess; it's an immersive experience, an invitation to traverse the lofty heights and explore the zenith of architectural brilliance.
