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. 'Saint Moritz' is a project Tony Kelly has been inspired to do for a while now. The snowy mountains of St. Moritz are the backdrop to several of the artist's works. But this one is quite different since its subject is the high alpine monasteries and churches of religious orders that were the early settlers in the mountains rather than the high society frequenting the famous Ski-resort. The work is inspired by historical images that Kelly found of nuns skiing in the Scandinavian mountains and paintings of monks on skis at St Bernard Pass. A James Bond-like mystique is attached to these incredible outposts that have offered shelter and warmth to many weary travelers for centuries. Even Napoleon himself was given two glasses of wine and some bread by the Great Saint Bernard hospice monks when he arrived there in 1800. For many, the most symbolic aspect of a mountain is the peak because it is believed that it is closest to heaven or other religious realms, which drew these brave men to the Alpine. This piece is the first of a new series by Tony Kelly, celebrating the men and women of the cloth whose lives are devoted to their faith and often, in today's lightning-fast society, are forgotten. Tony Kelly is one of the most influential fine art photographers of our time. He plays with humor and provocation, and although highly polished, his work is playfully subversive, which forces you to stop and think, inviting us to venture beneath the glossy veneer and confront stereotypes, taboos, and role reversals. "My aesthetic is fun, colourful, vibrant and sexy. In terms of maintaining authorship, it's a very natural process. If you're true to yourself and your ideas, the rest takes care of itself. My work is a reflection of who I am, it's a reflection of myself. "Tony Kelly always delivers a dash of self-irony to the naked skin and tells a story.

La Doucine
By Jean- Michel Lenoir
Located in New York, NY
Elevation 25 x 48" Ed. of 10, Unframed we can frame it in a white wood shadow box. The frame price is 400$. A resolutely minimalist and suggestive approach to get to the essential. Not trying to show a subject for what it is, but for what it expresses. This is my way of telling stories, of translating my sensibility”. J-M. Lenoir A passion for nature from an early age led Lenoir to photography as a means to capture magical moments of nature and wildlife. Starting with wildlife and wide spaces, he developed his own vision of photography. Landscape photography is an eternal quest for atmosphere where the light and the quest of beauty are key references, his aesthetic landmark. His photographic intention relies on his magnetic attraction for wide spaces combined with his quest of beautiful lights. A way that inspires him and his instinct of freedom. In photography, he is looking for simple pictures, which go straight to the subject core, with very few things in the frame. Lenoir follows a suggestive approach: he does not try to show a subject as it is, but to share what it expresses. It is his way of telling stories and conveying his sensibility, like his recent work “Evanescence”. Combining his passion for pictures with rugged landscapes, he organizes and guides photo tours with Photographes du Monde agency for seven years. From north of Europe (Scotland, Norway, Finland) to South america (Chile and Bolivia),his photographic world leads him into areas of wilderness from where he draws his main source of inspiration. Lenoir is an ambassador for Fujifilm cameras...
