Press Release

Richard Levy Gallery is pleased to present Wasteland, a selection of photographs by David Ondrik from the series Wasteland. Desolate landscapes are interrupted by water towers, power lines, machines and other industrial items which are imposed into the image by the artist. In doing so, Ondrik calls into question the veracity of what we see, and debunks the cliché, “don’t believe it until you see it”. The exhibition comprises five images printed on large format paper which are laminated and framed.

David Ondrik graduated from the University of New Mexico with a Master’s Degree in Fine Art and currently lives and works in Albuquerque.

For more information or images, please call the gallery at (505) 766-9888.
