Sunset on clouds

Piece description from the artist

For reasons I don't understand, storm clouds tend to come in low over Brooklyn's Prospect Park. These clouds and the trees below them were illuminated by the setting sun, which had found a spot to break through. I just snapped the picture (and spent some time color-grading it in Adobe Lightroom). To me, the result has a feeling of beauty within peril.

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.
