Judges Biographies:
Gunther
Cartwright
Gunther Cartwright's powerful images of the
structural elements of bridges, buildings, highways, fences and storage
containers examine the formal relationships of line, form and color in
the industrial landscape. For Cartwright, the highly engineered
equipment of our modern environment has become the subject of a bold and
graphic aesthetic. Approaching his subjects as richly detailed
arrangements, he emphasizes their forms through the skillful
manipulation of scale and intense color. In the resulting juxtapositions
of element against element and color against color, he suggests the
sophisticated and often beautiful patterns of a manufactured world and
rewrites them as a timely and incisive commentary on our culture. As he
celebrates the signs and vistas of industrial creation and invention, he
alludes to a modern alliance of man, machine and art. Like the American
Precisionists of the 1920's Cartwright clarifies for us the geometrical
structures of the machine age and provides us with a crisp new
perspective of our Industrial Culture.
Cartwright holds a Master of Fine Arts degree
from the renowned Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, New York. He is
currently Professor Emeritus of Photographic Arts and Photojournalism at
the Rochester Institute of Technology, School of Photographic Arts and
Sciences. An active lecturer and exhibitor, Cartwright has made many
presentations throughout Europe and the United States. He is a recipient
of a Polaroid Corporation Photographer's Grant and a New York State
Council on the Arts Public service Grant. He has exhibited
internationally in many one-man and group shows, including exhibitions
at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., the George Eastman
House, Rochester, NY, the National Museum of Photography, Bradford,
England, The Photographer's Gallery, London, England, and at Photokina,
Köln, Germany." --- Georgette Lee, Exhibition Curator,
