Artist Reception with Guest Artist Nick Perdue

Join us for a special artist reception with our featured local guest artist for the month of September, Nick Perdue! For many years, I’ve enjoyed photography at a glance but truly reignited my passion for it two years ago through the medium of film photography. Through trial and error (and the occasional YouTube video) over the years, I have learned many techniques and began to establish a baseline composition style and artistic vision. I’m a Colorado transplant with a typical Colorado upbringing, where my early introduction to the outdoors made me into an avid outdoorsman. While I enjoy outdoor recreation like many a Durangotang or Moabite, I like to the find patterns and symmetry within man-made structures as well. Although I have been inspired by many landscape photographers like Ansel Adams and Dorothea Lange, I really enjoy challenging myself with other forms of photography such as street or portrait photography. Working with the unpredictable nature of film photography, I have come to enjoy the imperfections within my photos as well. I have come to embrace wabi-sabi, a Japanese philosophy that emphasizes the beauty within imperfections, and incorporate it into my art style, and I hope you enjoy it as well. Please come along and enjoy the wonderful perspective of the world I have captured through the eye of a lens. Stop by our Datura Deli community space and see what you think of Nick’s work. Light refreshments will be provided.
