Salt | Ice : Photographs by David Burdeny

Known for his spare landscapes and soft color studies, acclaimed Canadian photographer David Burdeny has an abiding interest in hallowed, liminal spaces. Bridging the concrete and ephemeral, his work finds wonder and quietude in the quotidian. Burdeny's most recent photographs are minimalist landscapes resembling ink drawings. They echo the stark elegance of earlier work, while incorporating gestural lines that seem to evoke mountains rather than document them. We are pleased to debut these photographs, which feature the rugged terrain of Iceland, alongside new aerial abstractions of Great Salt Lake's mutable, painterly salt fields.

David Burdeny (b. 1968, Winnipeg, Canada) graduated with a Masters in Architecture and Interior Design and spent the early part of his career practicing in his field before establishing himself as a photographer. He has featured his photographic series in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Canada, the US and throughout Europe. His work has also been widely published and has been recognized with multiple International Photography Awards. In 2016, David was selected as International Nature Photographer of the Year for his series Salt.
