About the Item

The photography of Carla van de Puttelaar allows the eye to touch the skin on many different levels. Through her lens, she makes the viewer aware of the sensitivity and the sensuality of skin, which she examines in detail, without ever forgetting to be aware of the importance of the shapes and the structure that the skin envelopes. In her nudes, she wants to emphasize personality, vulnerability and intimate eroticism, as well as distance and, sometimes, alienation. Moles can be seen clearly, as well as more temporal marks such as bruises, or the imprint of underwear on the skin. They enhance the intimacy of the picture, charging it with tension. The female body has long been her main subject, but in recent years she has also successfully begun to examine the skin and texture of flowers, particularly those on the brink of fading, and the bark of and shapes of trees. In them, she has discovered the same fascinating sensitivity and sensuality as in her female models. Natural light is one of Carla’s most important tools and assets. She allows it to play around with her subjects and then catches it at its most seductive moment, and from that moment on, it is captured for posterity.

Rembrandt Series
By Carla van de Puttelaar
Located in Sante Fe, NM
I cherish a the Dutch Old Masters. As a contemporary artist, I work with the female nude and portraiture, so I was enthusiastic when the Rembrandt House approached me to create a new series inspired by Rembrandt’s nudes. His incredible drawings and etchings show not only amazing technique and individuality, but also a sublime mastery of light, shadow and composition. His strong light-dark contrasts and his bold compositions, engaging costumes and draperies, resulted in powerful visual images. His models, portrayed from life, with their own personalities and bodies, not adjusted to fashion and ideals, were striking in their day, and have remained so into the present. Rembrandt’s nudes inspired me to create new works in which I have been able to capture magical moments in new works of art. The explosion of creativity has resulted in a large body of work which I call The Rembrandt Series...

Please contact us to inquire about the current edition number, availability, and price. Size 1: 86 x 59 inches Size 2: 65 x 43 inches Size 3: 45 x 30 inches THE PAINTERS PROJECT Works by Eric Ceccarini Eric Ceccarini’s work is available in editions of 9 or 18, the price of the artwork is based on the edition number and size. This artwork is a photograph mounted to aluminum, with a UV protective lamination film to the front and set in a wood black float frame. Extensive, both in time and scope; Eric Ceccarini’s The Painters Project is an ongoing collaboration with painters, sculptors and visual artists. Ceccarini invites selected artists and pairs them with some of the very best models he has enjoyed working with during his editorial career. This unorthodox partnership gives birth to wonderful and often surprising creations. The artist brings his creative universe, techniques, and palette; the model brings their personality and body language; interaction is key to the process. The temporary nature of the painting on human skin is captured and preserved through Ceccarini’s lens to create the photographic artwork. Together, the body, the pose, and the art become one for a brief moment. Ceccarini manages to blend the distinct viewpoints of different disciplines and artsistic minds and to mix various instruments, tools and angles. Ceccarini also sets himself apart from others by shunning technical artifice and working in natural light outside the studio. This results in soft, velvety, almost painterly images that amaze. For a number of these artists the project offers them a step in the dark, an escape into unknown territory. They must settle into a new environment with unfamiliar light, unusual shadows and highlights. The traditional canvas is replaced by a person: three dimensional, alive, warm, breathing and sentient. Movements and poses influence their strokes, they must discover, adapt and ultimately understand this canvas with their brush. More than hundred meetings have already taken place with artists from the UK, Uruguay, Mauritius, Belgium, The Netherlands, Spain, Italy, France, Switzerland, the US, China, Venezuela, Russia and many other countries all across the globe. Erik is a Belgian artist born in 1965. He gained a degree in photography from infac, Brussels in 1987. After a successful career as a fashion photographer for many luxury houses he concentrated on his artistic work.
