Landscapes Within Landscapes & Process

.
Enjoy an evening of pure inspiration as artist/photographer/writer John Paul Caponigro illuminates his creative process – not just where and how, but also why.

John Paul will show how he creates synergy between the diverse disciplines of drawing, photography, and writing, detailing how process influences perception – that ways of seeing lead to ways of being.

He’ll share sublime moments in locations around the world, circling behind an Icelandic waterfall, floating through an Antarctic iceberg graveyard, walking in the sky on a Bolivian salt flat, and flying like a bird over the Namibian coral dunes.

Finally, he’ll offer proof of how images of nature improve health. Like he does, you may conclude that we are not apart from nature but a part of Nature.

We’ll finish with a lively Q&A session.

Lecture – Process / John Paul Caponigro Tonight 18:30 EST


March 28, 2013, 6:30 pm
New Hampshire Institute Of Art
Manchester, NH
52 Concord Street Auditorium
“Continuing the Distinguished American Artists Discussing Art lecture series, John Paul Caponigro details the many aspects of his creative process — color, composition, drawing, iphoneography, writing and more. He shows how each discipline and different modes of operating with them contribute to the completion of finished works of art. The resulting synergy is stimulating, enriching, and enlivening. While he shows you that you already know how to write, draw, and photograph, he also shows you how these seemingly separate disciplines and creations combine dynamically to form a single creative process that results in a life’s work.”

Illuminating Creativity – Lecture at the College of Dupage


Tonight, for the first time, I’ll be showing new work from my Antarctica January, 2009 voyage. I’ll also reveal a lot about my creative process; camera, software, drawing, and writing technique and how it all goes together. The lecture is at 7 pm at the College of Dupage in Glen Ellyn, Illinois (outside of Chicago). Sponsored by Canon, the lecture is free and open to the public.

Lecture – Academy of Arts in San Francisco


Tonight from 7-9 in San Francisco at the Academy of Arts, I lecture on my work and creative process with an eye towards advances in technology. The lecture is free and open to the public – sponsored by Canon.
Here’s an excerpt.
I often encounter resistance to new practices in photography. Some say, “You can’t do that.” I reply, “I just did.” They respond, “But that’s cheating.” I counter “Whose game are you playing?”
There’s no such thing as cheating in the creative arts. There is such a thing as misrepresentation. As creators we all share a responsibility to disclose our process so that viewers can react in informed ways. This has never been more true than today, where technology challenges many of the assumptions that were almost too easy to make in the past. This cultural dialog is an important part of understanding where we are today, how we got here, and where we may be going.
