ARC Fine Art is pleased to announce the upcoming exhibition of photographs by Gustavo Ten Hoever, La Madreselva. This exhibition has been produced with Natacha Weiss of New York and is the artist's first solo exhibition with the
gallery. La Madreselva includes nearly 30 chromogenic
and silver gelatin prints, ranging from intimately scaled
still lifes of nature and fruit to impressive views of
the natural beauty of such diverse places as Hawaii, Uruguay,
Brazil and France. While succeeding in capturing a majestic
side of nature's splendor, Gustavo simultaneously records
the beauty found in the daily rhythms of simple life amongst
people around the world. The Madreselva is a plant, and
literally translated it means "mother forest,"
but it is also a famous Tango lyric and famous Argentine
film produced in the 1930s. For Gustavo, the title of
this exhibition, La Madreselva, refers to all
of those things and more ~ it is meant to convey all that
is beautiful in life from the simple to the grand.
Gustavo Ten Hoever was born in Uruguay and attended photography
school in Montevideo, Uruguay. He moved to New York in
1986 and now divides his time between Paris and New York.
After an eye opening time spent traveling into the Brazilian
Amazon, he began shooting for his first photo exhibit,
Full Moon People, covering the indigenous people of this
region. Since then, Gustavo has traveled continuously
and exhibited globally, while his editorial work can be
seen in publications around the world. Publications featuring
his work include I-D Magazine, French Vogue, Wall Street
Journal Magazine, US Vogue, Arena, and the New Yorker.
His clients include Hermes, Dosa, Editions Gallimard,
Persol, Dunhill, Jose Cuervo, Orange, Harrods, and Chaumet.
Over the past 10 years, Gustavo has shifted his attention
to a more personal photographic journey, capturing the
natural beauty and poetry of places and people. A spiritual
quest to capture the essence of place or person informs
Gustavo's photography which is distinguished by this unaffected
interaction of nature and space, beings and objects.
