Edward Burtynsky
Abstraction and the Altered Landscape
Abstraction and the Altered Landscape brings together Edward Burtynsky’s selected works from two distinct projects that share a commonality. During the 40-year evolution of the artistic practice, abstraction has increasingly become a central mode of expression for Burtynsky. Edward Burtynsky considers the objective of the work as satisfying not only impulses for inquiry and discovery, but also for seeking transformation. While there may be photojournalistic overtones in this work, the deeper concern is a desire to create large, detailed, painterly images into which the viewer is drawn not only by their formal aesthetic appeal, but also by the underlying subject matter. What in a photograph might seem like pointillist calligraphy or gestural brushstrokes, turns out to be swaths of industrial overburden or the tailings of a mining operation. This collision of form and content is important; it becomes a gestalt, so that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, providing balance and access to both information and aesthetic realisations.
