Ken Levy: Artist's Statement
Exhibits & News of Note

       As a semi-retired community photojournalist, I'm spending more time discovering and expressing my strongest emotions, and evolving beliefs, through photography.
       My inspiration is triggered by the myriad ways the world (mis)treats itself, and my art explores how deeply that impacts me and those I love. My ongoing work, "Art Down 45," is a visual analogy, a symbolic compilation speaking to the callousness, fear and frustration we see mounting every day. Images run from the macabre to the mysterious, in the field and in the studio, reflecting my photo-documentary style, demanding an actual answer to…WTF? ( Warning: This page contains images which may be disturbing to some).

       While my barn photographs explore a disappearing legacy, the balance of my work goes far beyond found-object captures or travel images. My depictions carry layers of deep emotion and beliefs, expressed in subtle yet intricate detail. From power and peace to mystery and the macabre, my work reflects inner discovery and outer nuance. New works appear frequently.
        I specialize in on-location photography and editorial packages telling the stories of the West, for magazines, news outlets, non-profits and businesses. Contact me for more details about my services and work.

It's a fine look at the vanishing old barns that once were icons of the American countryside. You can order the book through Barnes and Noble here.
