Description

We can barely control our excitement for our upcoming show with Devoir Art Collective. This is going to be one of the biggest art shows we have ever hosted! The Lower Haight Art walk will be going on as well at the same time. This is going to be huge. Over the past year, Devoir art collective has begun to take over in NYC, Vegas, and all over California. The collective promises this to be the biggest show and most impressive to date. Opening night will not be something to be missed.

Many times throughout our day to day lives things seem to be far from real. We're constantly distracted by the necessities of our life and forget about the rawness and importance of our individual lives. Almost as if we are an avatar inside of a video game, the unreal expectations we're presented with convolute our youthful ideology relating to life and everything it has to offer. People need their naive enthusiasm, their intuitive creative expansion, their vast thoughts and seamlessly insane dreams. This is not a video game; but it is a floor to ceiling exhibit reminding us that life is more than that.

Devoir is a collaborative fine art and photography duo ran by Dylan Ozanich and Jason Backrak. The project focuses on capturing real life moments that convey both the beauty and struggles of everyday life. Their photography ranges from the rawness of life in urban areas to the pure beauty of rural scenery, including everything and anything in between. They believe that photography is the premier way to instantly capture the moment, so it is important to include every kind of lifestyle or scene in their art. The artists hope that fellow enthusiast for everyday life can appreciate one of the large variety of stills to often remind them of what is important.

They chose the name "Devoir" because of the definition of the word; an act or expression of respect or courtesy, the necessity to do something. They live by what the word represents, expressing their creativity and exploring anything within an artistic medium in order to capture the beauty of everyday life. With this is mind, it becomes easy for them to give their all while exploring a continuously growing passion and love for art.

All of the photos, prints and frames are hand made by the artists. Using various resources, they have chosen to forgo the common process of buying prints and frames, instead opting to produce each piece of art by hand. While the process is more time consuming than other options, the artists feel that each picture deserves the utmost respect and care. They also keep each print exclusive only producing one print of each image. When admiring a Devoir piece, one can have comfort in knowing that the artists personally shot, printed, varnished and mounted each picture on hand-built frames.
