About the Item
O'brian's staged photographs masterfully balance organic forms with the geometric structure of books, vases, and other objects. The simplicity of the setting highlights the vibrant subtleties of the flowers, creating an appealing tension. These compositions invite the viewer to explore themes of balance and contrast, through a delicate but imposing presentation.
Michael James O’Brien draws inspiration from his diverse roles as a photographer, poet, and activist. His work often intersects with themes of identity, social justice, and cultural commentary. O'Brien produced a diverse body of photographic work, from still lifes and portraits to art documentation. He still uses film and works in medium and large formats. His themes are not classical, the artist prefers to portray extraordiary beuty, transgender people and still lifes. The artist's images have a sense of discovery and loss; absence and presence.

DRIFT
Behind the scenes of the nation, our lone navigator reflects on the grandeur of a land both ethereal and familiar. Not unlike the archetypal tumbleweed, the wayfaring drifter goes where the wind takes him. Through the highways and secret byways of a mythic American landscape, this iconic series encourages us to ask ourselves just who we are, and who we aim to be.
