Artist Biography
Arno, London based was born and raised in South Africa and is known for his portrait work in advertising and fashion. He has recently moved into portraiture for private commissions, following requests by key actors, musicians and celebrities.
His commercial work has been widely published internationally and a selection of publications include iD, Wallpaper*, Marie Claire, Harpers Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, GQ, Chaos, The Guardian and Mirror Newspaper Groups.
His portraits are represented in private and corporate collections internationally, as well the National Portrait Gallery and Ampersand House and Gallery in Brussels. His celebrity portraiture is syndicated through Corbis Outline.
STATEMENT
Working mainly in digital photography & video, I explore identity and personality through observation of person, environment and attitude. Narrative is underlying to the body of work, using single images to establish composites or bodies of view. Much of the exploration is about direct observation, stripping away reference and back-story.
What do I see when I look out, what does it say about me?
I aim to let the work develop from a very personal sense but as much as is possible present the final version independent of guidance and history. This encourages a space for viewer participation in creating an opinion on the theme, direction and consequence of the work.
