Photographer Anderson B. English, originally from New Jersey, received his BFA from Ohio University and his MFA from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Throughout, his images have straddled the line between editorial (photo reportage) and fine art photography. Bodies of work range from the passing and celebration of life to people in their environments, from the solemnity of a trainer and his boxers to photographs of the natural landscape. English is an instructor of photography at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh (Pennsylvania) and is a professional photographer. He has exhibited nationally in galleries and museums and is included in numerous private collections. On view at Patricia Ladd Carega Gallery are a series of landscapes entitled "Retrieving the Scattered." This body of work is a "study of the tradition and evolution of landscape photography from the documentation of the land to the recording of unspoiled grandeur to the interaction of human's attempt to control landscape, for better or worse." This work asks the viewer to think. It relies on the unpredictable: the found object in an unspoiled natural scene to initiate questions and thoroughly engage the viewer. |
