About Carl Warner

Carl Warner is an artist, photographer and lecturer based in Brisbane. He is well-known for his abstract compositions and photographic assemblages derived from urban surfaces, the materiality of public space and the contested spaces of landscape.

Warner uses the camera to record the detail he observes in the urban, industrial and natural environment, but does so in a way which renders this surface reality abstract. Carl completed a Ph.D. researching visual systems such as the Claude glass, camera lucida and camera obscura, used to aid the drawn and painted pre-photographic representation of landscape and illustration of the natural sciences.
