In Human Scale, artists explore how they perceive and engage with the carefully designed structures that shape our built environment. By examining the formal elements of architecture and uncovering the layered histories within buildings, five artists find inspiration in edifices—industrial, residential, and commercial alike—drawing from their beauty, functionality, and cultural significance.
Janos Korodi investigates architecture and urbanism through a social and environmental lens, capturing spaces and forms that shape our environment. Similarly, David Beker responds to the structures around us, juxtaposing industrial elements with the idea of “home” in his functional and abstract sculptures. Through this tension and balance, his work reflects the complexities of the modern world. Likewise, Philadelphia’s rich architecture, Allen Spencer and Deborah Imler, convey their immense love for the city with their photographic assemblages highlighting its facades through intricate patterns and layered compositions.
