In memoriam Arshile Gorky Mk. I

First iteration of series dedicated to the Armenian-American icon of Abstract Expressionism

A homage to the tragic icon of Abstract Expressionism. The idea was to crystallise the profound impact his works have had on me and to translate the dedicatee’s realised essences of canvas x colours, as interpreted by me, into the domains of captured light x freeform darkroom.

There are five photographs contained within this iteration, all titles drawn from the dedicatee’s own titled works in order to directly honour the inspirations behind the particular piece(s):
