The latest exhibit to open at The Art Associates Gallery offers views of vistas far afield, as well as landscapes that are closer to home.
Organized by photographer Chris DeMarco, “Picturing Nature” features works by a dozen photographers who fixed their lenses on the natural world.
Opening the show are several large-scale pieces that take viewers around the globe. Perhaps the most sizable is “Twilight View of the Majella” by David Brickman. It spans several feet across and provides a peaceful, mist-covered view of the mountainous Italian landscape. The dark foreground is dotted with homes and lush rolling hills.
