Mark Schermeister, award-winning fine artist and poet, has a personal intention to create and exhibit visual art that conveys the unseen qualities of the world around — "to photograph the invisible."
About the Artist:
Mark Schermeister is an enthusiastic fine photographic artist and poet who describes himself as “having almost six decades experience and always a student.” Mark began photographing dance 15 years ago, and he is the owner and founder of Studio1761; a photographic arts venture with the purpose of communicating the visible and invisible spirit of both the dancer and the dance.
From the Artist on Art:
“The images we create are both representations of the world around us and (I believe more importantly) the way we see it. These images are our way of saying “here, look — share my world!” To do this takes time, attention, and a focus in the present moment… I like to think of my art as an “alternative-to-social media” approach; it invites consideration, contemplation, and intentional thought through the eyes of another. With this we have a choice between a dictionary-prescribed, social media-ish abbreviated version of the world before us, or the option to look deeply and at length… [and] this opens for us a vastly expanded human experience. Please take a few moments, perhaps look a little deeper and longer; welcome to my (and our) world!”
