Come meet artist Keith Conforti to see his exhibit Forgotten But Not Gone and to hear about his art and process and view his current exhibit at NPL which explores neglected and abandoned worlds, allowing him to create stories about the contradiction of beauty and decay. Keith’s photos will be on display in the meeting room from September through October.

Keith Conforti works professionally as a photographer, graphic designer and college professor. He teaches classes and workshops on both disciplines.

His visual style relies heavily on composition, honed by his years as a graphic designer, to create order out of nature’s chaos. His photos possess a silent dignity and structure that presents his subjects simply and honestly.

Today, Keith photographs all across the country. His interest is discovering abandoned and shuttered locations that have historic pasts with meaningful stories and captivating beauty (usually created by decades of neglect and decay). He has photographed asylums, prisons, theaters, shipyards, hospitals, schools, mill complexes, and just about any other location that offers a glimpse into a forgotten past. Each place has a story to share about its former purpose and how time, nature and neglect have conspired to transform it.
