GARTH MEYER

Garth Meyer traverses the globe capturing astoundingly detailed large-format images of scenes seldom absorbed in full by the naked eye.

Garth will be presenting a talk at 6.30pm on Thursday 8 October as part of the Spring Art Tour. Grolsch will be serving refreshments from the Gallery’s sun deck and all are welcome to attend. A further talk will take place at 2pm on Saturday 10 October at 2pm.

Born in South Africa in 1967 and educated in Canada (Diploma in Technical Photography from Langara College in Vancouver). Currently resident in South Africa, Garth carries a diploma in Film and Television (South Africa), won the 2005 Apollo Film Festival (Victoria West) and won the Best South African Film at the 2007 Oudtshoorn Film Festival (South Africa).

The return to Africa was heralded by a long-term photographic project to capture landscapes on an 11x14 inch Large Format camera. Currently working on a long-term project documenting Central and West African forests undergoing deforestation, Garth’s images achieve the critical status of blurring the lines between documentary photography and art.

A solo exhibition of Garth images is planned at Rooke Gallery in October 2010. In the interim a select number of platinum and silver bromide prints will be made available to interested buyers.
