PORTAGE PARK — Photographer Frank Styburski's work will be on display through June 30 at the Austin-Irving branch of the Chicago Public Library.

Styburski's work is designed to prompt viewers to reevaluate images that get lost amid the clutter of busy environments.

“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 exhibit is in the gallery on the upper floor of the library, 6100 W. Irving Park Road.

Styburski's photos have been exhibited at the Harold Washington Library as part of the Chicago Public Library's celebration of Polish American Heritage Month and Perkolator Cafe.
