Joseph Podlesnik

“The photographs in this [project} were taken at a variety of locations in and around Phoenix, Arizona, the artist’s home since 2009. Joseph Podlesnik, a Wisconsin native who lived for many years in southern New Jersey, brings his own artistic sensibility to this series. Like the Swiss photographer Robert Frank, who documented American places and people with great acuity in the 1950s, Podlesnik may see Phoenix more clearly than those who have lived there longer.” Excerpt from “Surface Tension”, an essay about Joseph Podlesnik's work, written by Kate Nearpass Ogden  www.josephpodlesnik.com
