REPRESENTED BY SUBJECT MATTER GALLERY, MINAMI AzABU
Classic Botanical Flower; by Clinton Friedman
Clinton Friedman
Lensman Clinton Friedman celebrates the environment of
his native South Africa not with sweeping vistas of wild game
and savannas, but via intimate portraits of flowering plants.
In his desire to bring people closer to nature, he also isn’t
afraid to embrace the commercial. Last year, Friedman joined
with American contemporary furniture and housewares
store West Elm to create a collection of homeware items. This
show by photo gallery Subject Matter presents not only his
limited edition botanical flower photographic prints but also
examples of the graphic designs he has fashioned for scatter
cushions and umbrellas.
