David Burdeny

David Burdeny is a photographer from Canada who travels the world capturing beautiful color photographs ranging from intricate interiors to serene, minimalist landscape and waterscapes. Burdeny’s aerial images suggest the painterly expressiveness of Rothko, Newman, Diebenkorn and Willem de Kooning.

From the start of his fine art photography career, Burdeny has always had a deft appreciation for the artistic potential of pure space and how it can be purposefully structured to appeal to the senses. He has become a master of the photographic moment. In the tradition of minimalist photographers such as Michael Kenna, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Grant Hamilton and others, his early black-and-white long-exposure work created a minimalist monumentality out of spare landscapes that felt privately spiritual and seemed to exist outside time.

David has been widely exhibited and collected throughout Canada, the United States and Europe. His latest Seascape series will be featured in the 2017 Venice Biennale, Italy.
