Miaja Art Collections - Contemporary Art Gallery
presents a Solo Exhibition by David Yarrow in Singapore.
“A
good picture has to transcend at many
different levels. Emotionally, it has
to be something that grabs people’s
attention and hold it; whether in its
content or in terms of how evocative it is,” says David Yarrow,
world-renowned fine art photographer.
‘It’s Five O’clock Somewhere’ is an exclusive feature of limited
edition prints from Yarrow’s recently completed project in
Montana with iconic supermodel Cindy Crawford. The worldrenowned
London-based fine art photographer came to Lion
City to showcase his evocative, pin-sharp black and white
signature prints. The exhibition also showcased photos that
capture the beauty and unique characters of endangered wild
animals in Borneo, Kenya, South Africa, Namibia, Iceland and
other remote places as well as his iconic image ‘Cara Cigar’ with
Cara Delevingne.
Yarrow’s large-format monochrome images have been displayed
in many leading galleries and museums across Europe, USA
and Canada. He made his name with his evocative style and by
getting close to wildlife using wide-angled lenses. In 2017, he
was one of the bestselling fine art photographers in the world
with the limited-edition prints regularly selling for high prices
at auctions.
At the Sotheby’s photography auction in London in May 2017,
Yarrow’s iconic image from South Sudan, Mankind, was sold for
$75,000, the highest of the 100 lots at the show. In April of 2018,
his image ‘The Wolf of Main Street’ sold for $100,000 and was
the highest bid piece by a living photographer.
Giving back is also integral to this Glasgow-born photographer’s
work ethic as he has reaffirmed his goal of raising significant
funds for Wildlife Conservation and other charitable projects
