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. Kristian Schuller is known for his surreal and fairytale-like images. His works thrive from elaborate costumes and sets as well as avant-garde styling. 'Butterfly' is one of Schuller's most famous works. A model is standing on a ladder, her dress entirely made of colorful butterflies, reaching down to the floor. More butterflies are swirling around her, and the vintage cars in the background. A man in a suit and melon hat is jumping next to her, trying to catch the butterflies in the net he is holding. The sun shines directly at the camera lens, dipping the scene into a surreal glow. Schuller embraces his images with a high-energy approach: Everything is epic, all the time. The Romanian-born star photographer says: “My father was a theater man, and I was growing up on stage. If you like the stage, the theater and this whole storytelling thing then you’re never afraid to tell a story in an epic way to entertain people with good taste and strong stories.” Kristian Schuller grew up in Germany and studied fashion design with Vivienne Westwood and photography with F.C. Gundlach at the University of Fine Arts Berlin. He has worked internationally with various fashion magazines and commercial clients.
