Albert is a versatile artist who besides from making pictures, creates art from a photographic and digital basis. His work is represented by Saatchi Art. In recent years he has increasingly moved to making (or shooting) abstract work with special attention to structure and surface. He is attracted to images that reveal beauty in decay and the passage of time, as to become friends with our mortality.

About me

Background

Albert Nanning grew up in Groningen and became involved with photography and film during his study Dutch Language and Literature. He took a course in black and white photography and was occupied as a filmprogrammer at a movie theater for students for several years. He now lives and works in Amsterdam where he scours the streets in search of images. Also he likes to write and published two books, see also here.

Education

Nanning is autodidact.

Development & Style

From 2004 he fully focused on digital photography. His work is characterized by a strong emphasis on framing, lineplay and shooting from extreme angles. This resulted in his mirror collages (Symmetry) that are both striking and intruiging, often with very powerful colors. Furthermore he's fascinated by trees, wind and objects changing over time.
Nowadays Albert focusses more on making series. He also started portraying people in the streets of Amsterdam.

Credo

You don't have to go far to discover beauty, It's closer than you think.
And one of my favorite writers Martin Bril once wrote: "First an artist has the obligation to search for beauty and second not to fall in the pit of seriousness."
