The Palm Beach County Cultural Council is pleased to present a Solo Exhibition, a collection of original works by Palm Beach County Artist Nathan W. Dean. The exhibit runs from June 9 to July 7 and is on display in the Cultural Council’s exhibition space at its new headquarters, 601 Lake Ave. in Lake Worth.

Nathan W. Dean’s series, “The Art of the Image,” is a sample of the artist’s original photographic works. “My images aim to show the essence of what I see, reduced to its simplest elements, uncluttered by distraction,” said Dean, a resident of Delray Beach.

His photographic works have been featured in several exhibitions throughout Palm Beach County. “They reveal my passion to capture the magic of light and the mystery of shadow, and to use them to arrest the eye and intrigue the mind.”

Rena Blades, the Cultural Council’s President and CEO said Solo Exhibitions are one of the ways the Council focuses on its mission to help promote the careers of local artists.

“Solo Exhibitions, offered to members of the Council, offer unique opportunities for professional artists in Palm Beach County giving them the chance to exhibit their work and build their resumes,” Blades said.

Dean started his career in Science as Professor of Physics at Iowa State University and went on to hold posts as VP for Research at the University of Georgia and VP for Graduate Studies and Research at State University of New York. From 1993 – 2006, he served in various executive posts at Florida Atlantic University including Dean of Science, Vice Provost, and Vice President.
