Studio Shangri-La Fine Art/Conceptual Photography: The Beachwalk 777 Collection Continued

Here are a few more fresh additions to the South Beach Miami-based Beachwalk 777 collection and the Portfolio/Gallery page is up to date. A few of these are based on the ‘S’ shape and there are many interesting deco details. The last image is purely a simple and beautiful portrait of a Ravenela. It’s wonderful to be inspired by tropical plants, that are just as lush this time of year while it’s cold in Boston. The title Beachwalk 777 captures how I felt walking along the ocean in art deco South Beach — Jackpot!

This is a multi-part article originally published in 2021. Stay tuned for the remaining parts, the spoken versions of which differ a bit from the original.

Studio Shangri-La Artwork Commissioned For Beth Israel New Inpatient Building

Studio Shangri-La artworks will appear in BIDMC’s new inpatient building thanks to Boston Art: White Azalea Panel, Sugar Maple Canopy & Cherry Blossom Trellis.

I’m thankful to be part of such a significant public space where lots of people can enjoy these pieces.

The deco botanicals represent the beauty of patterns in nature, then reflected in art & technology, and how these can harmonize. Sugar Maple Canopy is part of an ongoing collection that also glorifies in portrait nature and its healing power, with special attention to composition and style. The original photographs were taken in Cambridge and Somerville.

More info to come on the opening of the building in Spring 2023.

NEW in December 2022: Beachwalk 777 Collection

Check out these new additions to the Beachwalk 777 Collection, the original photos taken in and around South Beach, Miami. This particular group is inspired by palm trees, the Venetian Islands and the tropics in winter. For pricing and custom work, please reach out through the Contact page. The images shown above are watermarked.

Studio Shangri-La: Art Influenced By Science

Here are some Studio Shangri-La works thus far inspired by science and scientific concepts, from biology to chemistry to physics. And this trend is sure to continue, as science is the study of life.

Some specific examples: “Decision Tree” is influenced by evolution and computer science / programming. “Stomata Bridge” is an abstracted expression of plant biology / anatomy. There are a few in this group influenced by circuit design and electronics. And quite apparent is “The Observer Effect,” a concept of quantum physics, as well as “Blue Peacock CPU” the fantasy computer processor.

Perhaps not quite as apparent, “Khepri” is a visualization of magnetic fields. And the bright “Flowers of Benzoin” is structured like the molecules of a Benzene ring. “Elements” is abstract expression of looking through a microscope. And “Changes” is a reference to relativity, its creases the folds of time. All of these are represented on the portfolio page, and coming soon in a ‘influenced-by-science’ section.
