Anna Krachey Work from Land/Landscape “Maybe it’s important to make a distinction between what gets called materialism and what real materialism might be. By materialistic we usually mean one who engages in craving, hoarding, collecting, accumulating with an eye to stockpiling wealth or status. There might be another kind of materialism that is simply a […]

Christine Rusche Work from Fictional Landscapes. These images are a really interesting combination of Ulrich Görlich’s 15 Landschaften and Gerhard Richter’s Overpainted Photographs. There is something quintessentially German about the hand drawn intervention into the landscape that I find remarkably appealing. These works speak about ideas of landscape and development in a way that is […]

David Axelbank Work from the Lozenge Series. “The idea of “Landscape” is dependent on the human viewpoint – it is a cultural and aesthetic construct versus the natural world.

Mark Lyon Work from Landscapes for the People. “My inspiration for creating photographs stems from finding and documenting peculiar juxtapositions in everyday places. This process often involves the act of rephotographing photographs. My current series, Landscapes for the People, looks at the use of romanticized wallpaper landscape photographs found in everyday environments. These wall sized […]

Niels Stomps Work from Fire and Snow. “Svalbard, Spitsbergen’s location at 78 degrees north latitude makes it the world’s northernmost permanently inhabited settlement. The island is literally cut off from the rest of the world by sea or ice. The rhythm of nature is so dominant that the only recourse is to adapt. Svalbard’s inhabitants […]

Michael Lundgren Work from Transfigurations. “As an artist, I have always been drawn to the field of landscape. It is the perfect subject with which to explore our history and our desire, two urges bound deeply together in the mythology and experience of the American West. As well, working in wild places always feels like […]

Shigeru Takato Work from Our Elusive Cosmos. “These are photographs of landscapes on Earth relating to the exploration of space and our cosmos. These relations could be scientific, mythological, factual, or religious. We often analyse, philosophise and romanticise our cosmos. Our knowledge of it is limited and much remains unknown and a mystery. In the […]
