David Maisel is an artist whose work spans photography, painting, and video. He is the recipient of Fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the Getty Research Institute, and the National Endowment for the Arts, and has been an Artist in Residence at the Headlands Center for the Arts, among other awards and honors. Maisel’s aerial photographs address the aesthetics and environmental impact of radically human-altered landscapes, while his abstract paintings respond to catastrophic climate change events such as wildfire and flood. His images are spatially ambiguous and destabilizing, and describe a world wholly remade by human activity.
