Introduction by Ellen Burstyn
Steven Arnold populates his elaborate tableaux with the objects and individuals of mankind’s collective cultural memory: figures from a Caravaggio painting; a dancer seen in a Cecil Beaton photograph; plastic swans from a Woolworth’s Five and Dime Store. Through the artist’s haunted eyes these images and artifacts are seen new again, with humor, melancholy, wit, sadness and above all, great artistry.
