Arthur Tress's work is very, very aesthetically interesting to me. I find the photographs to have a weird, dark feel to them, requiring imagination and evoking emotions.
Arthur Tress uses magic, theater, and fantasy combine to produce a mythic vision of the world. Tress frees photography from its naturalistic roots and invests it with symbolism and imagination. The photographs introduce an emotional "chiaroscuro" that disturbs and intrigues the viewer. His earlier, darker, vision has been replaced by the introduction of a mischievous humor. His images have a unique quality to them and I can't stop looking. He uses the square format, as I am seeing many photographers do, and I have to say it fits his work very well.
