Abstract Color Photographs : Arthur Grossman
Arthur Grossman finds most of the images for his photographs in the weathered surfaces of small marine vessels dry-docked in Pacific Northwest boatyards. His ability to coax evocative form from chance encounters with found objects places his work in the intersection between pictorial and documentary photography: his images are both an unmanipulated record of reality and subjective expression, distinguished by highly saturated color, centralized or symmetrical ordering of form, and calligraphic marking.
