Photographic Explorations, the work of Max Mattei through June 19th.

Max works behind the camera eye, fusing his strong design skills and his unique aesthetics for visual art to create images meant to engage the viewer in multi-layered stories of the world around them, both natural and man-made.  His art is diverse, encompassing nature’s impressive landscapes, oceans and mountain vistas, explorations of cities with their architectural beauty and forms and also some work that takes on a more abstract imaginative interpretation.

There is a truly expressive nature to his work. Deeply sensitive to his subjects, he strives to reveal the individual tone and nuance of each. Each piece is carefully rendered, each picture an investment of time spent chasing light and shadow, patiently stalking and waiting for the perfect moment that will embody what Max wants to impart about that captured image to share with the viewer.
