Biographie de Edward Burtynsky
As a teenager, Edward Burtynsky worked in huge auto assembly plants and deep in the gold mines of northern Ontario. Burtynsky, the artist, is informed by these experiences and the training of his master craft. He brings this knowledge of gigantic industrial space to the ground glass of a field camera creating images that find their final expression in the sumptuous largescale color prints that are his signature.
Since 1978, Burtynsky's subjects have variously ranged from mines, quarries, recycling depots and oil fields, to refineries and shipbreaking yards. His detailed and precisely rendered works document the changing relationship of humankind to nature through the industrial landscapes we have built. Neither celebrating nor condemning industry, Burtynsky's photography mediates between the life we lead and the places we create that allow us to live this life.
Over the past three years, Edward Burtynsky has focused his efforts and experience upon similar subjects; this time we see a dedicated commonality. All his industries of choice are located in the vast manufacturing heart of China. Here we find the broadreaching visual survey of a society striving to provide a "better life" for its citizens.
