An Interview with Adrien Broom

Broom’s photography is “deeply rooted in fairy tales and mythology, reinterpreting figures like Aphrodite and stories like Goldilocks and the Three Bears.”

— The Huffington Post

Blue II, Adrien Bloom

A Colorful Dream features a suite of photographs, some of them large in scale, detailing a young girl’s journey as she discovers a series of vividly monochromatic fantasy worlds that explore the associations we have with every color in the rainbow. 

Created over three years in her studio, Adrien Broom constructed eight individual sets comprised of objects evoking the essence of each respective color. In looking at the images, it would be easy to mistake the effects as a digital manipulation of an original photograph, but in fact, Broom created each of these worlds by hand, much like a stage production.

In addition to forty photographic images, the exhibition includes time-lapse videos showing the engrossing process of constructing the live sets for the photographs, offering insight into Broom’s creative process and the production required to bring the images to life.

About the Artist

Adrien Broom is a contemporary fine art and commercial photographer based in New York and Connecticut. Broom’s fine art photography often alludes to themes of childhood fantasy, using young women as protagonists. Through her captivating images, Broom pushes the boundaries between reality and imagination, showcasing the enduring power of traditional techniques in an increasingly digital age.

Broom’s award-winning work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions at renowned institutions across the globe. Her artistic achievements are a reflection of her extensive education and training in the fine arts, including a BA in Computer Animation from Northeastern University, studies in Fine Art at the SACI College of Art and Design in Florence, Italy, and studies in Fine and Decorative Art History at Christie’s in London.

Traditional Gallery

In this large space divided into intimate galleries (perfect for viewing the art up close), the Arlington Museum of Art showcases a myriad of collections comprised of “traditional” art. We define traditional art forms are those that have been a long-standing part of a culture (such as painting, sculpture, textiles, photography, metalwork, etc.).

Immersive Galleries

In our four Immersive Galleries, we curate multisensory experiences that envelop viewers within the artwork itself. A unique blend of art and technology, the defining features of the immersive art installations we present are their originality, artistry, and meticulous design. Our Immersive Galleries total nearly 21,000 sq ft with walls 18 feet tall. That’s immersive! 

HELP Center Gallery

Through an ambitious rotation of curated exhibits and related programs, the HELP Center for LGBTQ+ Health Gallery at the AMA provides a platform for emerging and established artists to showcase their unique perspectives and talents. Admission to the HELP Center Gallery is free, and its exhibition calendar is always changing.
