Graeme Purdy Underwater show 2022

GRAEME PURDY: THE FINAL FRONTIER
EXHIBITION DATES: 26 APRIL - 11 MAY 2022

Our Spring 2022 series continues with an incredible set of photographs from award-winning photographer Graeme Purdy.

Purdy recently ventured deep into the oceans near Mexico with the intention of capturing images of underwater life, a task that clearly became more challanging than ever he could anticipate. After spending around 100 hours in the freezing water over a number of days, Purdy was starting to lose hope of capturing his perfect visual shots, but through grit and determination he fought through and returned to the studio with an impressive and inspirational set of unique photographs.

Please take a look at the youtube video link on this page for some some amazing behind-the-scenes insights into Purdy's expedition.

All works are for sale, the final pieces are beatifully presented in solid wood, black frames, with a non-reflective protective face mount. Please contact us for any more information

"Despite two-thirds of the planet being covered in seas and oceans, we know so little about these underwater worlds. Our lack of understanding is partly driven by the remoteness and challenges in experiencing these environments. We are often content with near-shore sea life experiences: coral or rocks can bring some degree of reliable experience. But our deep oceans remain otherworldly.

I have been driven, and inspired, to photograph these places. To show the beauty that exists in the oceans and seas is our first step in connecting with the wildlife that lives there. There are a plethora of conservation issues threatening the seas and oceans, but first, we need to understand more: connect and then act. I hope this collection brings the beauty, and the challenges of the oceans to the forefront of the viewer's mind.

I hope we do more". GRAEME PURDY
