Art Exhibit Look What Nature Has To Offer Photography by Dave Ludwin and Seth Marcus About the Artists: Local Photographer Dave Ludwin has been photographing the flora and fauna of Prospect Heights for years and with it comes a familiarity of his imagery that has now been honed by his ever evolving tools and refinement of his aesthetic sensibilities. His portraits of nature are compelling in their insight and beauty. Conceptual Artist/PHNRC Commissioner Seth Marcus uses elements of nature to create works of art as temporal as nature itself. His inspiring works reimagine nature in a human way yet never lose the natural possibilities. They are a fine balance between imposed order and the randomness of the natural materials he works with. |
