INTRODUCTION
GERRY JOE WEISE uses different mediums from: painting to sculpture, music to performance, and video to photography. The "NATURE-NATURE" 2005 series is based on his "NEW-NATURE" Photography taken from his "NEW-NATURE / NEW REALITIES" concept. These photographs were taken in Southern France, using old-school techniques. The same techniques were used for the "ECO-LOST" 2005 series, a bold statement on today's ecological problems. The "PSYCHO-NATURE" 2006 series was done using digital computer effects, to express his concerns with contemporary nature, the Earth, and sociological problems.

NEW-NATURE
NATURE versus GRAVITY
by Morton Fielding
The New-Nature series commenced with the introduction of dissonant forms of landscape photography in the South of France. The gradual deformations of images juxtaposed to form pictures no longer controlled by Earth's gravity, sometimes creating a central void, where the viewer is drawn into the image, sometimes turning the viewer upon his head. The exclusion of the human figure where all presence is evacuated, the viewer feels like an outsider in front of the image, as if nature has left mankind out; is a specific intention created by Gerry Joe Weise in what he calls the "New-Nature" series.
The most significant characteristic of Weise's photography, is its anti-gravitational aspect, its overwhelming scale in thickness of vegetation, where as silence and cacophony simultaneously carve through the dense air. An instant of bafflement ? Gerry Joe Weise doesn't encourage the viewer to comprehend contemporary nature photography at first glance. Nature versus gravity !

ART LINE MAGAZINE, England
by Andrew Nuti
Gerry Joe Weise's more external approach juxtaposed with Space and / or Movement, is enticed by Energy / Creation, and more fundamentally, is guiding his artistic research through guidelines set up in response to them, rather than following 'trendy' patterns.
