BIOGRAPHY: Robert Buelteman has published thirteen portfolios of black-and-white landscapes, including three monographs: A Vision of Life (1988), The Unseen Peninsula (1994), Eighteen Days in June (2000).Beginning in 1999, he experimented with techniques from Semyon Kirlian’s work with camera-less “photograms” from 1939. Buelteman’s uses this technique, combined with advanced fiber optics to capture the essence of flowers and plants. Following publication in 1999 of Through the Green Fuse, a portfolio of images demonstrating his technique, made without the use of cameras, lenses, or computers, Buelteman was appointed Artist-in-Residence at the Santa Fe Institute in New Mexico in 2003. In 2006 Buelteman completed work on two new portfolios, Sangre de Cristo, the flora of Santa Fe, and Rancho Corral de Tierra, the flora of his hometown of Montara, on the California’s north coast. In 2008 this new work was recognized with a Gold Award in B&W Magazine’s prestigious single image competition. He has received accolades from institutions as diverse as the United States Congress, the Commonwealth Club of California, Committee for Green Foothills, and the Natural Resources Defense Council. His work can be found in public and private collections worldwide, including the Yale University Art Museum, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, Kleiner, Perkins, Caulfield & Byers, Bank of America, Adobe Systems, Stanford University, Xerox, and Nikon. |
