A Goodbye to Summer

Piece description from the artist

This piece was created in response to the weather cooling and summer ending. It seems everyone takes a picture of trees during foliage season, and I wanted to create something different. I took a picture of a backlit tree branch its background of brush, then altered colors to give it a surrealist quality.

About Etan Ben-Ami

Brooklyn, NY

Etan Ben-Ami is a semi-retired psychotherapist and full-time lens-based artist. He has crammed several careers into his life.

He began exploring New York's art museums and galleries from his early teen years. In the early 1980s, he became interested in holography and high-resolution computer graphics. He helped holographer Jody Burns with computer software to pre-visualize holographic exposures used in creating holograms designed by Israeli artist Agam.

His interest then turned to the New York poetry scene. He studied with Alice Notley, among others. He co-edited and produced the local 'Cheap Review of Poetry' in part as a challenge to the increasingly stifling professionalism in poetry and the arts.

In his sixties, he has renewed his interest in visual arts, especially abstract and expressionist photography. He is a member of Brooklyn Artists Waterfront Coalition.
