Washington, DC.- Architectural photographer Kenneth M. Wyner will debut two exhibitions this Fall.  The first, a photographic exhibition titled "The Structure of Spirit, Design of the Heart" runs from September 1st through October 28th at the American Institute of Architects national headquarters in Washington, DC. An opening reception will be held Saturday, October 1st from 5:00 to 10:00pm. "The Structure of Spirit, Design of the Heart", created by the artist to celebrate Washington, DC's architecture and design community, features more than 40 kaleidoscopic images of domestic & commercial interiors, homes, gardens and architectural features. The resulting images suggest the surreal settings of Maurice Escher prints coupled with Alice in Wonderland-style fantasy and the exaggerated geometry characteristic of Op Art. A second exhibition, "Washington Tapestries", will be held from November 5th through November 12th at the Washington Design Center, with a reception Saturday, November 5th from 7:00 to 10:00pm. On view will be a series of unique "tapestry" like images of the iconic Washington buildings. The Washington landscape will be transformed through the use of intricate and complex filters and various splicing techniques into soft patterns and tones, and printed on fabrics and canvas.
