Seltzer describes these formal decisions as \u201ca sort of tightrope walk,\u201d artistic risks that reflect the fluctuations of his lived experiences. In some corners of his work, pockets of darkness indicating contrast and depth serve as signifiers of physical and psychological chaos. The overlapping techniques in his images form an oscillation of push and pull.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seltzer graduated from the University of Missouri with a BS in English and Psychology. He has mounted solo shows at the Greenberg Gallery, St. Louis; Galerie Agathe Gaillard, Paris; Yancey Richardson Gallery, New York; and Richard M. Ross Art Museum, Ohio Wesleyan University. Additionally, Seltzer\u2019s photographs are among the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and International Center of Photography, New York; Asheville Art Museum; Denver Art Museum; and the Brooklyn Museum of Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"706\" data-id=\"18669\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/2012.8.4-e1684527706397-900x706.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/2012.8.4-e1684527706397-900x706.webp 900w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/2012.8.4-e1684527706397-382x300.webp 382w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/2012.8.4-e1684527706397-768x603.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/2012.8.4-e1684527706397-1536x1206.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/2012.8.4-e1684527706397-800x628.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/2012.8.4-e1684527706397-200x157.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/2012.8.4-e1684527706397.webp 1678w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"10\" height=\"10\" data-id=\"14895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2021\/01\/blank-image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14895\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"10\" height=\"10\" data-id=\"14895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2021\/01\/blank-image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14895\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Seltzer (American, b. 1947)\u00a0 Seltzer\u2019s creative process spans a series of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1626,"featured_media":0,"parent":1152,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"_dimp_site_id":"","_dimp_override_contact":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-18668","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18668","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1626"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18668"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18668\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19370,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18668\/revisions\/19370"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
