Glenn Losack is a different kind of photographer. He's also a psychiatrist, and his unique perspective into the inner workings of the mind gives him a way of looking at the outer images of what is seen in the world in a whole new way - a way that we're lucky he shares with us through his photography.
September 24 at Salon Ciel in New York, Losack opens a new exhibit called "The Furious Physician." The exhibit opens at 6:30 pm at 10 West 15th Street, Penthouse H in Manhattan.
Glenn Losack is a physician, psychiatrist, musician/composer, world traveler, seasoned/award winning photographer, international medical lecturer, charity worker, cynical, sardonic, wry, usually pessimistic, great lover of Indian food, Guinness and the Beatles.
Dr. Losack semi-retired from his medical practice at the ripe old age of forty to pursue his true passions: circling the globe many times east and westward, living a good part of the year in developing nations, and doing things his colleagues say they ‘will do’ but never do. He considers himself lucky to have traveled in over fifty nations but is honored and humbled to have had the experience of photographing India and other cultures thousands of years old.
Salon Ciel is a monthly exhibition series that mingles diverse artists and audiences, cross-fertilizing art production, interpretation, and education. Artists and guests spend an intimate evening together in a residential cocktail party atmosphere, viewing and discussing art while overlooking Manhattan. Extracting the art from the scene at a gallery or museum allows presenting artists to engage in meaningful dialogue with distinguished attendees without the paralyzing exclusivity and frigidity often found at other venues.
Salon Ciel specializes in showcasing the work of cutting edge, emerging, and under-recognized mid-career photographers and visual artists. We also welcome performing art portfolios and often flirt with hybridity and multi-disciplinary exhibitions.
Dr. Robi Ludwig, nationally known psychotherapist, best selling author and commentator for CNN, FOX, Today show among others, says about Losack's work:
"Dr. Glenn Losack uses his talents and insights, as both a psychiatrist and an artist to capture the world in the most extraordinary way. He highlights life's beauty and difficulties, and in doing so helps his audience to walk away a more aware, knowledgeable and worldly individual. His photographs brilliantly capture the visual, synchronous dance of the vicissitudes of life. No one shoots like he does!"
