About the Item

Black and white photography, unique gelatin silver bromide print, with wooden and glass frame, signed by the photographer Vari Caramés (1953, Ferrol, Spain) on the back. The work is numbered and includes a certificate of authenticity. The dimensions of the work are 76 x 105 x 4,5 cm. The photograph shows us an ethereal and infinite play of lights. The sofa becomes a symbolic element of peace in the home, of calm, with the tones and subtones of gray and the movement that Vari introduces to his images, the work becomes gigantic. Every time you see the photograph, you will see it in a different way, that is the photographer's gaze, a dispersed and focused gaze at the same time. A multiple look, with which he makes us see objects as traditional as a sofa, as if it were a Greek god. He confesses that chance and intuitive talent are essential weapons for his photographs, in which there is inevitably a fixation: the window, which, in most cases, is imaginary because it constitutes a symbol of looking, analyzing and observing; In short, seeing the world or life as through something inconcrete, as if from the inside out and also from the outside in. Vari Caramés is one of the most international and successful Spanish photographers in the history of Spain.

Sitting Room
By Patricia Heal
Located in Hudson, NY

Please allow two weeks for production. Shipping time depends on method of shipping. Price is subject to availability. The Robin Rice Gallery reserves the right to adjust this price depending on the current edition of the photograph. ABOUT: In her ninth solo show at the Robin Rice Gallery, veteran artist Patricia Heal documents her visual narrative of their enchanted home in upstate New York. Hidden within untouched forests lies Peabrook, a babbling brook running through the property. The classic architecture of the house is offset by uniquely quirky interiors designed by the English-born Patricia and her husband, Anthony Cotsifas, which generate an otherworldly existence within the estate. “Peabrook is my Neverland,” Heal states, in reference to J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan. “It is a fictional place often described as a metaphor for eternal childhood.” Heal hopes that, with just a visit to the gallery and a little imagination, you, too, can see Peabrook. Her use of the large format, now-extinct Polaroid film for her black and white photographs, and the warm soft colors found in many of the other pieces of the collection, contribute to the sense of antiquity and fantasy surrounding Peabrook. The whimsical subject matter, including mythical creatures and extensive taxidermy, complete the “magical” representation of Heal’s home that she strove to depict. The simply framed 4” x 5”, 5” x 7” and 8” x 10” photographs sit within large mattes, in keeping with the classical quality of her images. “I really wanted to work in film again, and this project seemed the right one to do it with,” says Heal, who lists Sarah Moon and André Kertesz as artistic inspirations. The dark and mysterious invitational image, “Willow”, depicts a portrait of a hooded woman, her downward gaze partially obstructed by the soft branches of a fern from the surrounding garden. The earth-toned image contains the unpredictable streaked effect of developed instant film. In another image, entitled “Sitting Room...
