Скачать или смотреть Made in California: Artist Mike Weber Finds Balance in Nature

In this episode of Made in California, we head to the San Bernadino National Forest with Los Angeles mixed-media artist Mike Weber as he discusses how he splits his time between the city and the mountains.

“It’s almost like the locations of where I work are mixed media as well,” says Weber. “I’m mixing all these materials to create this final object, but I’m also mixing an urban lifestyle with a mountain lifestyle. They are both my studio in a way. I do a lot of the production work in Los Angeles, but most of my photography is done in the wilderness. Combining the two feels very natural to me because I always have one foot in and one foot out—and that’s what makes me feel balanced.”

His current work is a combination of paint and nature photography, which he captures in the wilderness of America’s National Parks. His layering techniques—colors, textures and patterns—are inspired by earthly landscapes, decaying signage from human life and decaying German and Dutch homesteads near his childhood home in the Midwest. Each piece connects a global audience with a combination of materials and images that look perfect and ruined at the same time, juxtaposed to create rhythm, harmony and coherence.
