Scott Groeniger

Scott Groeniger’s artwork primarily deals with issues concerning the role of the artist in political, social, and propaganda visualization. Much of his photographic work examines and critiques environmental issues such as urban sprawl and the development of the American residential landscape as well as the current environmental issues facing China. Groeniger has worked professionally as a graphic designer and photographer, however, more recently, he is incorporating more analogue materials and processes into his images. These new “drawings” are essentially a critique of the language of advertising. Groeniger appropriates images he finds in the environment and on the street and remixes the source material in order to investigate the contemporary cultural landscape. Groeniger is currently an Assistant Professor of Digital Imaging in the Department of Art and Art History at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.
