Michel Arnaud, "Form" - Nov. 23 through Jan. 7
"Form," an exhibition of photographs by international artist Michel Arnaud, will be on view at Park Row Gallery, 2, Park Row, from Nov. 23 through Jan. 7. An opening reception will be held Saturday, Dec. 8 from 4 to 6 p.m.
In "Form," Arnaud has gathered a section from recent work featuring common, everyday (often overlooked) objects presented in a way that can only be considered compelling. With his keen eye, a functional piece is transformed into something extraordinary.
"Because of my work (in commercial photography) I have taken an interest in form and function, and in simple objects that we look at without really seeing. Things we take for granted. In doing so, I show the power of an arm of a chair, the romance of a flower. ... The beauty of simple things."
Arnaud is known for his telling portraits of celebrities and his iconic images of some of the world's most talented musicians. In addition to his book, "Nashville: The Pilgrims of Guitar Town," Arnaud's photographs have appeared in numerous publications for the past three decades, including Architectural Digest, The New York Times and Paris Match. His work has also appeared In House Beautiful, Harpers Bazaar and InStyle.
