Impressions in Light + Shadow

Perspectives Space

Artists Dwight Hwang and Oriana Poindexter are proud to present Impressions in Light & Shadow, an exhibition featuring new gyotaku and photo-based prints at Perspectives Space in Encinitas, California. This month-long exhibition highlights the unique beauty and majesty of the giant kelp forest ecosystems off Southern California’s coastline.

Hwang’s gyotaku prints and Poindexter’s photo-based works allow their subjects, the wild species of Southern California’s giant kelp forests, to share a window into their underwater world. The exhibition programming includes an opening reception, two workshops led by the artists, and a panel discussion with artists and scientific experts. Impressions in Light & Shadow is a must-see exhibition celebrating the wonder of the giant kelp forests and Southern California’s marine ecosystems.
