About The Work
Like his life-long friend and colleague Nan Goldin, David Armstong’s evocative photographs explored the subtleties and nuance of portraiture. Capturing lone subjects, from beautiful male lovers to transsexual club-goers, Armstrong’s work transcends genre, giving life to a world that at the time, existed as a disenfranchised underground. In this softly lit portrait, reminiscent of an old Hollywood glamour shot, Sean, East River Park, NYC, a tattooed male figure is pictured in East River Park. The intentional blurring of the surrounding environment arouses a timeless quality in the work, characteristic of Armstrong’s serene and earnest style.
