About the Item

Track and Field, Women running on track, 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. This is a conceptual and surrealistic photograph by Tony Kelly, known for his provocative and vibrant style. The image depicts a stylized starting line of a race, but instead of traditional runners, the competitors appear to be nude women wearing red high heels, positioned in the classic starting stance. A race official in a white suit holds a starting pistol, preparing to signal the beginning of the race. The bright blue track serves as a contrasting background, emphasizing the playful yet bold aesthetic. 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.

Coming Back - underwater photograph - archival pigment print 23x17"
By Alex Sher
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
"Coming Back" captures a transformative moment in contemporary underwater fine art photography, where classical composition meets avant-garde expression. A figure in crimson emerges through a veil of ascending bubbles, creating a dynamic interplay between motion and stillness. The deep cerulean backdrop contrasts dramatically with the red fabric, while suspended air bubbles catch light like countless stars, evoking a celestial aesthetic. This fine art photograph explores themes of emergence and rebirth, characteristic of modern submersible portraiture. The technical mastery of underwater lighting and movement choreography elevates this piece to a meditation on human resilience and ascension. This photograph is a part of the series "Blue Fall...

Pointe - underwater photograph - archival pigment print 24x17"
By Alex Sher
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
This elegant underwater photograph captures a ballet dancer in pointe shoes and flowing white tutu, suspended in deep teal waters. The rich contrast between the pristine white costume and the moody blue-green aquatic environment creates a dreamlike atmosphere. Sher's composition bridges classical dance and contemporary underwater photography, exploring themes of grace transcending physical boundaries. The work continues the tradition of fine art photography that documents performance art in unexpected contexts, transforming the familiar ballet pose into a surreal meditation on weightlessness and artistic expression beneath the surface. "Four years ago I wrecked my sailboat and was selfmedicating with vodka at a Russian restaurant when I suddenly noticed a cute girl hanging from the ceiling right above my glass. She was not only beautiful, she was a dancer too, and she agreed to model for me underwater. Two days later, if you stopped by my pool you’d see a fully dressed ballerina with her hands underwater and me wriggling at the bottom around her dance e shoes. I kept asking her to tie and untie her pointe hypnotized by the small hands entwined in ribbons and light. I took quite a few pictures that day. This one is my favorite."
