"Do Not Adjust Your Set"Harry Gruyaert is a Belgian artist who photographs popular culture and news as it is shown on the television screen. Playing with the antenna he manipulates the color saturation. He is probably most known from his series from the 1970's Munich Olympic Games which he considers his most pure adaptation of journalistic photography.
"At the heart of Gruyaert’s work is his affinity to structuring the intense nature of color. His images are beautiful in terms of life, luminosity and the people in relation to their situations. A contrast of elements assembled into refined graphics of shadows, hue, light and atmosphere."fototv.com
I stumbled across in a happy accident. This semester I am a T.A. for a sophomore seminar class, and as I was putting together a class lecture on the importance of research and the used of "Artstor" I began searching for artists that might pertain to the work I have been doing. As I was looking through his imagery, I was very surprised to see that his work, looked a lot like mine. In fact, his work was probably the closest to all other artists that I have looked up to date.
