DAVID KOWALSKI, The Discoverer of Invisible Beauty, text by Suy / São Ludovino.
The macro photographs by David Kowalski (aka David "Bugs" Kowalski) are both a documentary and art. Show us the infinite world of tiny things that populate Nature and pass unnoticed to most eyes. Drops, stamens, corollas, leaves, feathers, colors, shadows, textures, tiny details, everything takes shape with a remarkable aesthetic dimension. Hardly a painter could achieve the same result in rigor or in surprising shapes, brightness, colors or blends of the ineffable delicacy of the microscopic world.
It is impossible to say with certainty what most of the photographs portray but it is impossible to remain indifferent. Each Kowalski’s photograph is indeed a unique and unrepeatable instant. Each tiny fragment of the invisible realm of Nature emerges as a work of natural art. A naturalist or biologist who wanted to talk about the wonders of nature could pick some of the photographs by David Kowalski and replace their most eloquent speeches.
David Kowalski is an American artist and photographer, with four decades of experience, who assimilated many cultural and artistic influences. In its "tribal art" is evident the influence of American Indian culture; contact with the mechanized and industrialized world led him to create a sort of "industrial art" (recycled art, industrial tribalism), using fragments of old machines and tools (junkyard), and during his stay in Holland he even learned the craft of silversmith. Serving the U.S. Air Force traveled to different parts of the world and met a kaleidoscope of cultures that also contributed to shape his artistic production.
Many of the materials he uses in his sculptures come from the gathering that the artist did in the Arizona desert, largely in order to clean up the garbage and industrial waste that pollute the region, thus becoming one of the first American "green artists".
Throughout his artistic career, has participated in multiple art events and exhibitions.
