Having worked on five continents for nearly a decade, David Burdeny has diligently established himself as one of Canada’s most successful fine art landscape photographers. With wide representation across Canada, USA and Europe he has participated in over forty solo and group exhibitions since 2003. David Burdeny was awarded Nature Photographer of the Year in the 2008 International Pilsner Urquell Photography Awards for his work titled, “NORTH/SOUTH” which document the fragile shorelines and monolithic ice forms for Greenland, Iceland and Antarctica.
Sacred and Secular is an ongoing series of photographs that depict urban edge conditions and built environments throughout the world. In the course of Western architecture and urbanism there is a long history attached to the Ideal, Visionary and the Fantastic as notions to create built space. This lineage is studied from a distant vantage point at the cities edge – looking out and or in. Taken in Dubai, Egypt, China, Japan Greenland, Antarctica, Europe and Canada, the locations of the images are often distant in latitude, typology and syntax. The images are photographed with an 8”x 10” view camera and printed as chromogenic color prints, Each image offers a finely grained density of visual information, rendered in the broad range of tonality only made possible by the 8”x 10” inch transparency, Transmounted to Plexiglas the photographs are printed large - thereby welcoming the viewer to experience them from afar and at nose length.
