Arthur grossman Photography

My work is an exploration of the beauty to be found in things that are normally either not seen, ignored, or felt to be a blight.  I seek organic forms in the alterations to man-made objects which are caused by time and environment.  All of the surfaces are man-made, i.e. metal, wood, concrete, or fiberglass.  The images are all made from the actual physical objects themselves, with no intervention on my part.

The work may be viewed simply as art, with no reference to what it comes from, or it may be viewed as a statement about what happens to man-made surfaces through time.  As in any abstract art, the viewer brings his/her own perspective to the work and sees in it what he or she is prepared to see.  Some see anthropomorphic or animal forms, others see celestial forms.  To me it is immaterial what references people find in the work if they appreciate its beauty.
