| The first eighteen years of Kristopher's life were spent on his family's farm in rural Saskatchewan where his family has seeded and harvested the same land for over 125 years. The farmhouse was surrounded by an unobstructed horizon with endless skies and straight roads. Enduring an extreme environment - from arctic cold winters to desert hot summers - cultivated in Kristopher an understanding of our impact on the land and how to work with the earth's cycles. Growing up against the backdrop of the heavy machinery, tractors, trucks, and steel structures; the symmetry of these tools was complex and repetitive and impacted his way of looking at the world. In the winters his dad worked as a boiler engineer. He would often go to work with him and soon became fascinated by the pipes, lights, gauges and dials; the inner working of the building's heating system.
Years later, while studying photography in Vancouver he spent nights exploring industrial landscapes. He found himself enthralled by gritty industrial plants; smokestacks churning out endless fumes, concrete cityscapes encased in fog and bathed in the saturated tones of the streetlights. With his 1972 Hasselblad camera, he used long exposures of 10 to 20 seconds, which allowed him time to visualize the light being recorded onto the film. All of these elements have lent themselves to the growth of Kristopher Grunert's signature and coveted photographic style. His work blurs the lines and offers a natural fluidity between fine art and commercial photography, and his images are respected internationally in both realms. Be it 800 feet below in the blackest pitch of a gold mine, to banking 800 feet above a prairie wind farm, or on the surface of the earth at menacing minus 45 degrees celsius, Kristopher is at home, his focus never wanes, and he gets the image that he knows is there. |
