Arnold Zageris

Arnold Zageris has won many awards for his work, and has exhibited in public and private galleries across Canada, including the Art Bank of Canada, the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography, the Canadian Museum of Nature, the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa, and The Rooms in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. He is the author of three books: “On the Labrador” (2013), “Antarctica” (2016), and “Iceland, Born of Lava, Chiselled by Ice” (2020).

“Arnold’s composition[s] demonstrate consistency and intricate control of form and pattern in which he isolates elements as unique windows on the natural world. Arnold’s use of light and colour is subtle and yet definitive, more than simple beauty, his ability to see beyond the common landscape is exemplary. His photographic vision uncovers a hidden power, mystery, and complexity within the landscape, and explores these forces as individual worlds. I have worked closely with two significant photographers of the natural world, Ernst Haas and Paul Caponigro. I believe the quality of Arnold’s work and level of commitment is equal to theirs. Throughout the years, Arnold has continued to create exceptional photographs. He is an asset to both Canada and the greater world of art.” – Bernard C. Meyers
