"Global Warning: Antarctica"

John Paul Caponigro’s recent work, Global Warning, Antartica, warns viewers of the climate crisis we’re currently facing on earth. John Paul is an internationally recognized visual artist and photographer who blends his experience in painting with alternative and traditional photographic processes using state of the art digital technology. Global Warning, Antarctica, is a visualization of the invisible greenhouse gases and a visual metaphor for the negative emotions we are deluged with when confronted with visual evidence. This project was developed as a combination of the arts through photography, poetry and digital art and it is a deep mediation on climate grief and eco-anxiety. Global Warning touches on the environmental issues of our age, which are physical, social, ethical and psychic.

John Paul Caponigro is an internationally collected visual artist (Smithsonian, Princeton, Estee Lauder) and published writer (Apple, Huffington Post, Camera Arts) who leads unique adventures in the wildest places on earth to help participants creatively make deeper connections with nature and themselves.

John Paul creates his photographs in stages; first in the field looking at the screen on his laptop and later in his studio using Sharp/NEC’s PA311D-BK-S V. Once the images are on the Sharp/NEC display, he can view the photos at a larger scaler and at a higher resolution, making it easier to input precise color adjustments. This is where proof of concept is confirmed and where images are polished to perfection. It’s the last 10% that separates good prints from great prints.
