About the Item
All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. 'Waiting for the Wizard' is a stunning black and white piece by Guido Argentini. It depicts a nude woman sitting on a vintage sink in a bathroom. One of her legs rests on the edge of the sink while the other is stretched out to help her balance on the ledge. The graphic black and white tiles covering the floor and walls of the room create a stunning visual. Dramatic poses, tender touches, and longing glances populate Guido Argentini’s photographic landscape. The Italian star photographer, celebrated in all genres, has a particular gift for the female nude. Juxtaposing and contextualizing the female body through cityscapes and the natural environment, Argentini playfully compares color, forms, and moods. His diptychs and singles are suffused with a sense of longing and memory. From beauties in pompous buildings to bondage – the self-taught artist explores every dimension of sensuality. Eternalizing the female form in gold and silver, Argentini elevates his subjects to goddesses and mythical creatures of age-old tales.

Guido Argentini
Guido Argentini is widely known for his evocative landscapes and stylized color nude photography. The Los Angeles-based artist has freelanced for numerous magazines and has garnered acclaim for his book, Silvereye, which collects sensual photography of nude female models that have been covered in metallic chrome paint.
Born in Florence, Italy, Argentini initially studied medicine at the University of Florence. He left after three years of study to pursue an interest in photography — a passion that brought him to the United States in 1990.
Since the debut of Silvereye in 2003, Argentini has published Private Rooms, Reflections and Shades of a Woman. An admirer of performance art as well as visual art — he has drawn on sculptures by Michelangelo, Auguste Rodin and Constantin Brâncuși — Argentini explored a fusion of motion and eroticism for the images of ballet dancers that are collected in 2013’s Argentum.
Renowned publications such as Vogue, Marie Claire and Playboy have all featured Argentini’s photography. His work has been exhibited at Todd Kaplan Gallery in California, the James Gallery in Russia and elsewhere.

'Always moving upward' - nude with mirror, fine art photography, 2006
By Guido Argentini
Located in Vienna, AT
All prints are limited edition. Available in multiple sizes. High-end framing on request. All prints are done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. Argentini’s work is characterised by an underlying fantasy vision. His women are untouchable and alien, inhabitants of mysterious spheres, while at the same time radiating a confident physicality. Although Argentini’s style is quite unmistakable, he loves diversity and variety and repeatedly finds novel ways of communicating his visual fantasies. ‘Always moving upward’ depicts a model next to a mirror. Her hands are covered by black gloves and are confidently braced on her hips. The strong Lightsource emphasizes her body shape, which is partially reflected in the warped mirror...
