Life & Death – A Visual Taxonomy
Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum,
Ridgefield, Connecticut
September 16, 2007 to June 8, 2008
James Prosek’s watercolors depict faithfully-rendered birds and fish hovering in abstract environments. The contrast between the animals and the geometry that surrounds them sets up an opportunity to consider the animal’s real and metaphorical significance. Through his paintings, Prosek communicates his great love and respect for the natural world.
