BROWARD COUNTY - Broward County's Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), in partnership with the Broward Cultural Division, is proud to announce the Terminal 2 Art Gallery exhibit featuring
photography by artist Russell Satterthwaite. A resident of Fort Lauderdale,
Satterthwaite is a nationally and internationally recognized award-winning
wildlife photographer whose bold, large-scale images depict the ever-changing
landscapes and underwater beauty of Florida's natural environment. The
exhibition opened in mid-June and will be on display through December 2022. The
Terminal 2 Art Gallery is located on the departures level post-security, and
encompasses the north and south passenger hold rooms, which serve seven of the
airport's passenger gates.
Focusing on Florida nature, the north hold room
portion of the exhibit includes Satterthwaite's masterfully-composed
photographs of native flora, and the south hold room showcases his
vividly-colored images of native fauna. Included are thrilling, close-up views
of some of Florida's most iconic wildlife, such as the American alligator,
yellowfin tuna, and blue land crab.
Among the artworks on view is a photograph
titled Stumpy, which depicts a mysterious-looking cypress tree that
appears to float in the surrounding water. "Every year, I visit the same spot on
the St. Johns River in northern Florida to photograph this tree," Satterthwaite
said. "The area is remote and accessible only by boat, and on this particular
morning, as I waited for the sun to come up, in rolled the fog, and this is the
end result."
"Supporting the local arts community is a
priority for Broward Cultural Division," notes Phil Dunlap, the Division's
Director. "The Terminal 2 Art Gallery provides our region's local artists with
exceptional opportunities to further their artistic careers and have their
artworks seen by millions of travelers each year."
"Florida's nature and landscapes are
extraordinary," said Mark Gale, FLL CEO/Director of Aviation. "Bringing these
elements into our terminals through photographs captured by a local artist is a
great way of welcoming our guests to FLL and reminding them that they have
arrived to a tropical paradise."
