Bridge Tunnels into Dusk
His main light painting body-of-work since 2013, "Vibrant Night: Light Painting Landscapes" typically explores nature areas in Texas (mainly) at night and its “border” zones. He uses long exposures, lights of different color temperatures, and extensive post-processing to convey what was in his mind’s eye. Conceptually, the work embraces the value of “cognitive reframing” (ie., seeing things “in a different light.”) Major subseries include “Pareidolic Beings in Nature,” "What Have You Done to the Earth," “Gravel Pits and Such,” “Ponds of Stone,” plus limited studies, and an adjunct series, “The Nature of Bridges.” Samples from some of these might be seen here. Full series, variations, and artist statements can be found on his portfolio site, www.LensCulture.com/ron-levy.

entry description
My light painting transforms the space under a bridge into something ambiguous -- even mysterious -- by the strong reflections it projects onto the water. To me, it seems like a hypnotic tunnel with a marble floor. Something that beckons us on a journey to other realms.about the photographer
