Safe-T-Gallery is pleased to announce the imminent arrival of Summer and a concurrent exhibition of drawings, woodblock prints, photographs, photograms and installed living creatures -- ORGANIC -- a celebration of life in almost all its permutations.
While many artists may feel akin to physicists in their interest in pure color and form, and others may be more interested in the psychology of human relationships, the six artists chosen for ORGANIC have concentrated on the living world around them, whether the “bush” of the Caribbean, the farmland of France, the creatures of the sea, the animals and plants of the “New World”, or the life to be found in and on the streets and fields of Brooklyn. The show brings together artists using many different techniques, but each examining the place of the natural world in modern human consciousness.

Daniel Anizon

Daniel Anizon is a photographer who has traveled around the world producing images. But back home in France he has pursued one project for over twenty years, “Les Vaches”, a look at that most organic of beings - the French cow.

Noah Baen

Undoubtedly the freshest work in the show will be that of Noah Baen. Although Baen usually works on environmental works in the streets and fields of Brooklyn, this summer he will be utilizing the spaces behind the Safe-T-Gallery walls to produce an ongoing living installation. As of this writing all we can say is that it involves a lot of mugwort.

H. Lisa Solon

The tropical island of Jamaica is the home of H. Lisa Solon, who uses the lush vegetation of the “bush” to produce large, rich cyanotype photograms. Using techniques that date back to the early “Pencil of Nature” roots of photography, she produces work that is surprisingly edgy, contemporary and very blue.

Lisa Studier

Life in the ocean is celebrated in the elegant, multi-colored prints of Lisa Studier. By using the technique of reduction carving, where a single woodblock is cut back between pressings with different colors, she produces an image that is rich with as many as nine overlying layers of color.

Jason Walz

The role of time in the natural world is an underlying concern in Jason Walz’s large, nearly abstract color photographs. The images produced by both plant and animal movements are fascinating both as natural history and as reflective examinations of the passage of time.
