"I want an audience to dream & remove themselves from reality." - David Yarrow
We had the pleasure of visiting Relévant Galleries in the heart of Cherry Creek this weekend & we were immersed in David Yarrow's fine art photography.
Yarrow is recognized as one of the best photographers worldwide and Relévant Galleries has one the largest and longest-standing US collections of his work.
Fine Art Advisor & Curator of Relévant Galleries, Melissa Batie gave us a private tour & was nothing-less than awesome. She provided so much insight into David Yarrow & his photography. She had a deep understanding of his inspiration & process and was able to articulate extensive facts on the photos themselves while also showing her passion on assembling Yarrow's spectacular works into her clients' collections (with meaning & value).
David Yarrow's work documents the natural world from new perspectives with large archival pigment prints.
"This is west Texas and all the ‘True Grit’ that goes with it." - David Yarrow on True Grit
Yarrow's photography in Relévant Galleries made us feel wild yet mesmerized; the raw energy from the animals in the shots combined with the logistics and planning that goes into each and every photograph was captivating.
“…but the wolf is not easy to get right. So many things are totally beyond my control. The wolf’s eyes are vital - they simply have to be sharp” - David Yarrow on Friday Night at the Pioneer
Yarrow's works include not only wild animals but a number of high-profile celebrities including Alessandra Ambrosio, Ciara & Broncos quarterback, Russell Wilson.
“I like working in twilight; we have to push the camera settings a little, but the reward is more edge to the lighting and in this case, a bit more menace. I never worry about the shallow depth of field, it serves to mystify and give a degree of anonymity without losing the narrative.” - David Yarrow on Smooth Criminals
What a collection! Big thanks to Relévant Galleries, Melissa Batie & Hanae Reith for hosting us.
