Art in Nature

Art in Nature can be seen from the subatomic to the cosmic. It can be raw, powerful, serene, destructive, fertile and delicate.

Nick Brandt

Brandt's images have been described as "...an ambitious and ongoing photographic project to memorialize the vanishing natural grandeur of East Africa. Brandt's monochrome widescreen panoramas of animals and landscapes capture an epic vision of Africa that has not been seen before. His iconic portraits of its majestic animals are filled with an empathy usually reserved for human subjects."

In 2000, he set upon a three part project that he calls "an elegy to a world that is tragically vanishing." 90 photographs from this decade long project have been condensed into two recent publications On This Earth and A Shadow Falls. Further solidifying his commitment to the African wilderness, Brandt recently established the remarkable Big Life Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation of Africa's wildlife and ecosystems.

Brandt has had multiple solo exhibitions worldwide, including in New York, Los Angeles, London, Berlin, Sydney, Munich, Brussels, Amsterdam and Paris.
