About Artist
Jeff Wall is a Canadian artist living and working in Vancouver. He is known for making contemporary art through the use of photography, thus blurring the lines between the two.
Wall’s early work addressed Conceptual art via photography. In 1969–70, he produced a small brochure, Landscape Manual, containing black-and-white photographs of Vancouver taken from the window of a car. In 1976 he began colour photography, and soon mounted large colour transparencies in lightboxes. In 1991 Wall started using digital montage techniques, and he began producing large black-and-white photographs in 1995.[1]
Reflective Note
Digital montage belongs to common techniques in the connection of movie narrative, which identities a part of portrayal of visual reality. This method has contributed to the development of the emotional line, thereby gaining a deeper awareness of the theme that be spoken though the images without verbal language.
