Ernie Button
Shibui 3087, limited edition color photograph, signed and numbered by the artist

About the Item

Shibui 3087 is a limited edition color photograph, signed and numbered by the artist Focusing on subjects grand and mundane, Ernie Button takes color photographs of cities and sights on his travels worldwide. He captures amusement parks, plastic toys, the residue of whiskey left behind in glasses, and breakfast cereal arranged into landscape scenes. Acknowledging the wide range of his portfolio, he explains: “Although my subject matter varies, my images focus on the individual nature of objects (and occasionally people) and the unique qualities that each possesses. My images often provide a voice to objects that are ignored and are frequently overlooked or taken for granted.” When shooting outside of the studio, Button often works with a film-based Holga, the low-cost camera developed in the 1980s and known for producing slightly blurred and distorted images. In the studio, Button uses higher resolution cameras to reveal the strange, surreal beauty in close-up views of ordinary materials.

Surprise - underwater photograph - series REFLECTIONS - archival pigment 20x35"
By Alex Sher
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
“Surprise” is a part of Alex Sher’s popular series REFLECTIONS - underwater photographs that could be almost mistaken for abstract paintings as they bring up recollections of masterpieces by Picasso, Dali or Gustav Klimt. In fact REFLECTIONS are straight photographic capturing of the water’s surface from below, with a submerged underwater camera. The photographs freeze natural momentary reflections in water surface - the unique kaleidoscopic fragmentations of human body into nearly unrecognizable forms. It is these bold accents of color, mesmerizing textures, dramatic lines, and distinctive distortions that make Sher’s works unique highly advisable masterpieces. The strength and patience of the feminine form resound in the echoing smile of Alex Sher’s disciplined model in his underwater photograph “Surprise”. The female body becomes almost unrecognizable as the nude colors of the skin, the vivacious reds of the garments, and the tranquil blues of the water morph and fuse into one another. Hearkening back to the surrealist paintings of masters...
