MAISEL'S FINE ART SUMMER PART ONE

David Maisel's "Black Maps" is the subject of a solo traveling exhibit, currently on view thorugh July 29 at the Nevada Art Museum.   Black Maps is comprised of large-scale aerial photographs by San Francisco-based artist David Maisel. Featuring sublime images from his three recent series: The Lake Project, Terminal Mirage, and Oblivion, Maisel frames the complexities of environmentally-impacted landscapes with equal measure of documentation and metaphor, beauty and despair. His aerial images showing the alteration of the Great Salt Lake, Owens Valley, and the Los Angeles basin transcribe an interior psychic landscape that is profoundly disturbing.
