About the Item

Love Story 3, from the Love Story series, Darth Vader, a Storm Trooper and a woman standing on a terrace, photographed by Tony Kelly. 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. The photograph is a strikingly surreal and playful composition, showcasing Tony Kelly’s signature bold, hyper-saturated aesthetic. Set in a lush, sun-drenched outdoor scene with vivid blue skies and tropical palm trees, the image features an unexpected blend of pop culture and provocative glamour. At the center, a nude woman stands confidently with her back to the camera, her stance strong and statuesque, one foot propped on a patio chair. Her long hair flows naturally, and she's wearing only high heels, exuding both elegance and bold sensuality. To her left, a Stormtrooper from Star Wars holds a blue garden sprayer, mid-action as though tending to the plants. On her right, Darth Vader himself is watering greenery with a green watering can, fully costumed yet completely out of his usual menacing context. The scene is both humorous and visually arresting, contrasting the iconic sci-fi characters with the mundanity of gardening and the provocative glamour of the central figure. The exaggerated colors and polished, cinematic feel reflect Tony Kelly’s fashion/editorial roots, blending satire, fantasy, and a touch of decadence. Kelly's photography often blends elements of humor, sensuality, and exaggerated luxury, making use of vibrant colors and meticulously composed scenes. This particular image challenges conventional sports imagery, incorporating fashion and surrealism to create an eye-catching and thought-provoking composition. TONY KELLY was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1975. He cut his teeth as a photojournalist, capturing the burgeoning celebrity culture in a city embracing newfound wealth. His voracious appetite for blue skies and sun-drenched panoramas drew him to Barcelona, where he embraced the "street voyeur" within. His quirky spin on daily life and the cultural idiosyncrasies surrounding him quickly became his distinctive signature style. U.S. Presidents, corporate titans, sports stars and playboys - no one is immune to the power of the ultimate status symbol and the golden embrace of time. Tony Kelly smashes the façade in this signature piece from the artist’s original series on deconstructed luxury, twisted opulence and glamour gone wrong.
