Druridge Bay - Small Black and White Photogravure Print of Concrete Bridge

Located in London, GB

An urban landscape where manmade structure meets nature, evoking a sense of quiet introspection... Silent and steadfast, the weathered bridge stands against time, blending with nature's embrace... This is a study in geometry, shadows, and time, this piece captures the quiet strength of a forgotten underpass. "David George has been exploring photographic representations of the contemporary British landscapes for forty years and has incorporated themes prevalent in nineteenth century painting practice and aesthetic, to aid this exploration. He has appropriated the sublime, melancholy, the romantic, the pastoral and the uncanny to create something that not only represents the contemporary landscape in a pictorial way, but also making work that can be still viewed as documenting the landscape." David George's interest in British landscape began under the tutelage of John Blakemore at Derby University and continues to be a major part of his practice, now mainly concerned with ideas of classical and romantic visual semantics in the contemporary British landscape. His work looks at the decline of traditional industries, incorporating his interest in 19th century European landscape painting. David George (b.1957, Cheltenham and brought up in County Durham) lives and works in east London and in 2009 he co- founded the Uncertain States project which championed contemporary thinking and practice in UK photography...
