Peter Ydeen
Peter Ydeen is a photographer and artist currently living in Easton, Pennsylvania, working in New York City, and often traveling abroad. He works within the now-established tenet of Urban Landscape Photography, which celebrates the complexity and beauty of the mundane world. Although his work uses New Topographics as an impetus, his photographs move away from that stoic aesthetic with the ethereal layering typical of a romantic. He finds inspiration in the poetics of George Tice, the playful lyricism of Paul Klee, the readymades of Marcel Duchamp, and the eccentric energy of Charles Burchfield, all of these seemingly setting themselves within the romantic setting of an E.T.A. Hoffmann tale.
