His compositions present skewed linear perspectives that place the viewer at a remove, above and beyond the unfolding narratives. Natural landscapes are subverted by his preoccupation with the detritus of human accumulation.

Selected by Donald Kuspit for New Old Masters at the National Museum in Gdańsk, Poland, Arnold’s work is also included in the public collections of many institutions, including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Pasadena Museum of California Art, and the San Jose Museum of Art.
