Steven Arnold’s work engages themes of spirituality and sexuality, often with great humor, while referencing traditional world religious iconographies and philosophies. Through his tableau photographs, films, sculptures, and drawings, Arnold explored myth and mystery, androgyny and beauty, humor and artifice, life and mortality. His intricate black and white photographs showcase the artist’s reimagined gods, goddesses, spirit guides and archetypes – slowly revealing an infinite number of subtleties, inviting a deeper dive into Arnold’s personal mythology.
