| For over twenty years David Armstrong's
portraits and soft focus landscape scenes have been exhibited
extensively throughout the United States and Europe. He has several
well received books to his credit, including: A Double Life (1994),
The Silver Cord (1997), and All Day Every Day (2001). A Boston native
and graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Armstrong’s
contribution to contemporary art photography has been secured by
the compelling idiosyncratic beauty of his subjects and frank intimate
view into his personal experience.
Five years ago Armstrong began working in the fashion world and
since then his work has been featured in French Vogue, L’Uomo
Vogue, Arena Homme Plus and Visionaire. Armstrong’s photographs
of fashion models which are featured in this, his third solo exhibition
at the gallery, draw on his profound sensibilities as a portraitist,
his mastery of ambient and natural lighting, and the reductive simplicity
of his formal arrangements. Armstrong’s seductive tributes
to male beauty address issues of vulnerability and tenderness and
record the photographer’s romantic obsessions with his distinctive
penetrating gaze.
