DAVID BURDENY – SALT AND VELD
2017-01-02David Burdeny is a photographer from Canada who travels the world capturing beautiful color photographs ranging from intricate interiors to serene, minimalist water locations. Burdeny’s current series, abstract aerial color photographs of the tulip fields of The Netherlands and salt flats from around the world, are sublime observations of his appreciation for structural detail and the metaphorical value of space. In these series, Burdeny’s images suggest the painterly expressiveness of Rothko, Newman, Diebenkorn and Willem de Kooning.
In the tradition of minimalist photographers Michael Kenna, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Grant Hamilton and others, David’s images explore both opulent and austere interior scenes that use the sensuality of color and texture to full effect. While his black and white images render space in stark, elemental terms. His own vision represented by his personal experience of these enigmatic and luminous locations.
