Francis Ruyter
Francis Ruyter nascut al 1968 a Washington DC, Estados Unidos
Viu i treballa a Viena, Austria
Francis Ruyter és conegut pel seu tractament a gran escala, colorit i immediatament recognoscible d'una àmplia gamma de temes. Aquests treballs han servit com un índex personal de l'experiència viscuda de l’artista a través d'imatges fotogràfiques fetes per ell mateix.
Ruyter va començar a exposar a Nova York al 1993 i, igual que molts dels artistes d'aquest moment, va construir un interès especial per transitar entre l'excés d'imatges, contes, arquitectures invisibles, construccions patològiques i la representació, especialment la pròpia representació.
Els primers treballs de Ruyter són impulsats pel dibuix, compost a partir d'un arxiu d'imatges trobades obligades a relacionar-se a través de contorns traçats, una estructura d’estil web que en última instància pot ser vista com representant d' aquestes formes arquitectòniques fugitives i sense autors, com passa a amb Internet.
En els últims anys, Ruyter ha tornat a l'arxiu com a objecte –com una forma paradigmàtica de l'artefacte cultural, però en un canvi conceptual important ha abandonat l'ús de fotografies fetes per si mateix com a font de material a favor d'una versió pròpia d'un índex de la col·lecció fotogràfica FSA/OWI.
