Jeffrey Wall is a Canadian artist best known for his large scale back lit cibachrome photographs and historical writing. His photographic tableaux often take Vancouver's mixture of natural beauty, urban decay and postmodern and industrial featurelessness as their backdrop received his MA from the university of British Columbia in 1970. He presented his first gallery exhibition in 1978 as an installation rather than as a photography show. He is known for large scale photographs of everyday scenes with figures in the early 1990s, he became interested in still life's.
since the early 1990s he has used digital technology to create montages of different individual negatives blending them into what appears as a single unified photograph. his signature works are large transparencies mounted on light boxes, he says he conceived this format when he saw back lit advertisements at bus stops during a trip. He began making traditional silver black and white photographs, and this has become an increasingly part of his practice since that time.
Wall's images are interesting and similer to ours. His images look loads realistic though.
