“A tree can be majestic. Vast forests are as wonderous as the cosmos.”
– Scott Conarroe
Stephen Bulger Gallery is pleased to present “About Trees” our sixth solo exhibition of work by Canadian photographer Scott Conarroe. The large format colour photographs are a considered collection of imagery of trees and greenery, from Guizhou, China, to the Canadian Rockies, to Marseille, France, taken from 2008 to 2022.
In the vein of Conarroe’s previous bodies of work, there is a clear dialogue and exploration of the natural world and urbanization. While some of the images were seconded from dedicated projects, most were distractions from them. Often, the scenes simply caught Conarroe’s eye while looking for what to photograph next. The trees in the exhibition are exquisite, but also with little pretense or glory. Much like us, they are bounded by circumstance.
