ADRIAN PANARO

Adrian Panaro is an artist working in photography. His vision was initially taken to the streets, honed in the laboratory and winding up, for a time, in the fashion studios of New York. His early portraits document fellow artists and writers and dispassionately report both the dire and the glamorous. Currently working in Albuquerque, New Mexico, his recent solo exhibition “Signs and Demeanors” marked a vivid return to street photography representing daily life and interactions embedded in that American visual cacophony of bill boards and advertising. Panaro’s lens aggrandizes common places and somehow elevates the quotidian to mythic stature. This photographer’s work is held in private collections, the archives of the Richard Avedon Foundation and the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History.
