Rodney Graham is an influential contemporary Canadian artist. Best known for his striking photographic Conceptual work, he humorously conflates personal and historical reference with themes of nature, music, art history, and popular culture. Graham’s work—which includes camera obscura photographs of inverted Welsh Oak trees, text-based sculptures that meld the formal language of Minimalism with the writing of Sigmund Freud, and video art captures the redundancy of contemporary life—has been met with international critical acclaim.
