In Search Of Explore image in detail: http://www.christopherruane.com/Set/Photographic-Elaborations/In-Search-Of Giclée on Hahnemühle Photo Rag The image In Search Of is a landscape that is familiar but is transformed into a different reality which questions the actions of human beings and their effect on the environment. The piece is obviously a flooded and destroyed Pittsburgh, but it is not without signs of life. As a child, living outside the city, when driving along the parkway, I would look up at the skyline and the PPG building would always stick out as a place of mystery and intrigue; almost magical, or a diamond in the rough, pulling me in. That is the feeling I tried to incorporate in this disparate landscape. The image becomes a far cry from every Pittsburgher’s idea of a perfect city landscape. PPG, the only place separated in this environment, unaffected by the consequences and actions of man and nature, becomes a beacon of hope where people search for answers. The viewer is uniquely and interestingly included in the piece through the idea of separation. What kind of vessel are we looking out of and will we ever get out?

Christopher Ruane is a composite artist and photographer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who specializes in massive digital photomontages. Sometimes with thousands of individual layers, each photographed and created separately, his work often focuses on the spiritual and contrasting human condition. Influences for his images come from nature, personal experiences, art history, and current events. The complexities of each piece are made to be studied to reveal an inner meaning and viewpoint about our culture, the current climate of the world and what we believe to be the truth of our origins. His work has been shown in museums locally and galleries across the United States. In 2012, his image, The Good Samaritan, was the winner of The National Catholic Arts Exhibition at St Vincent College and since has earned an honorable mention and peoples choice award in the Biannual Exhibition . His work has been chosen for exhibitions by notable jurors from MOCA Cleveland, Andy Warhol Museum, Brooklyn Museum, and Carnegie Museum of Art. Christopher has also received awards from notable Curators such as Linda Benadict Jones and Art Historian John T. Spike, past Director of the Florence Biennale. In the last few years, Christopher and his work were featured in Camera Obscura Journal, Whirl Magazine, The Catholic Accent, The Pittsburgh Post Gazette, The National Catholic News Service, Religion News Service, The Washington Post, and The Huffington Post.
