About The Artist

Gillian Lindsay, Vancouver, Canada www.gillianlindsay.ca In 1997 I made the transition from film producer to fine art photographer. Since, I have been exploring abstraction, producing work that is more about texture, colour and composition and less about representational subject matter. In my ‘LIGHT IMITATING ART’ series I explore mechanical ways of altering light sources as well as camera motion, to distort the subject matter, creating images that appear more like charcoal sketches or paintings than photographs. I am drawn to surrealism and it is in this exciting experimentation with light that a figure or reference to a slightly definable object may emerge. Often the question: what am I looking at?
