PORTAGE PARK — Photographer Frank Styburski will discuss his work from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday at Perkolator Cafe, where 26 of his prints will be on display through the end of the year.
Styburski, whose work is designed to prompt viewers to reevaluate images that get lost amid the clutter of busy environments, is selling the prints on display at Perkolator, 6032 W. Irving Park Road, and donating a portion of the proceeds to O.A. Thorp Scholastic Academy.
“Much of my work is done in Chicago's streets, where millions of my neighbors look at the same things that I do,” Styburski said in a statement. “I try to see through the static by isolating the elements of a situation that are interesting, intriguing, or beautiful and by simplifying their context.”
The show organized and sponsored by the Northwest Arts Connection.
Styburski's photos were recently exhibited at the Harold Washington Library as part of the Chicago Public Library's celebration of Polish American Heritage Month.
