Will Arden
Will Arden is a UK-based photographer with a background spanning more than thirty-five years in art, illustration and publishing.
As an author, illustrator and cartoonist working under the pen name Alborozo, he created books for children and was a contributing cartoonist to publications such as Private Eye and Punch, before a condition affecting the vision in one eye made it impossible to continue working in those fields, leading him to photography as a new creative medium.
His work is centred on still life compositions and conceptual ideas, the latter exploring perception, ambiguity and the ways we interpret our perceived realities.
His work draws on a wide range of influences, from natural forms to Renaissance and Dutch painting, cinema and literature. These references shape the atmosphere and composition of the images without dictating their meaning, leaving space for viewers to make their own connections.
