Cold Song - underwater photograph - print on paper 16" x 23"

2013

About the Item

This striking underwater fine art photograph captures a figure draped in flowing white fabric, suspended between worlds with vibrant red blossoms and yellow spherical elements. The rich turquoise water creates a dreamlike atmosphere, merging figurative and abstract elements in the tradition of symbolist art. Sher's masterful composition evokes themes of transformation and rebirth, continuing the legacy of underwater photography as a medium for exploring human emotion and transcendence. The contrast between the subject's expression and the vivid botanical elements creates a powerful visual narrative. "I was in no creative mood that day. The pool was not heated, and the water was freezing. I could have called the shoot off but not this time. The model was my Facebook buddy for years and it was our first face to face. If it were not for me, Aaron would have called it off too. A motorcycle accident nearly took his life that weekend. He was swimming in freezing water with the bouquet he brought hiding his bandages from the camera. This pain on his face it was real. Two years later, this photo won an international competition and was displayed in Paris at the Louvre Museum."

Double Helix, Swimmer, Contemporary Photography, Large Format
By Roberta Fineberg
Located in New york, NY
The contemporary color photograph is 40” x 60” an archival pigment print mounted on dibond with plexi face mount. The art is signed, dated, titled on verso (back of work) by the artist. Edition of 5. 2- a/p's. Available: 1/5 For Double Helix, 2021 Roberta Fineberg is inspired by abstract painting. The artist explores the concept of infinite possibilities. Appealing to RF’s desire to alternate between the concrete and the abstract, the artist selects a theme of the eternal feminine, a female swimmer, repeated to affect a modern mandala: A swimmer moves, floats in aqua-marine waters through a kaleidoscopic view. A single image flipped and rotated in 16 quadrants forms a collage on movement, space, time, rhythm, and color. Ships framed. Provenance: RF Studio *** Artist's Bio: As a visual artist, Roberta Fineberg (RF) focuses on the themes of serendipity, inventiveness, and the development of ideas for her photography, video, installations, works on paper, and painting. Drawn to experimentation, she explores diverse mediums and concepts such as the ephemeral (Butterfly Series), stolen moments (documentary photography), play, timelessness, the enduring, and the significance of matter. RF, living in New York City, began her career as an editorial photographer while studying in Paris. In France she contributed both photography and writing to publications, landing a column (photos and text) with The Saturday Review while exhibiting photographs in public spaces. Roberta Fineberg’s freelance photography appeared in Le Monde, Jeune Afrique, Paris Match, L’Officiel Femme, Ms, Weltwoche, Vanguardia, among others with images licensed through stock agencies. Photographs were selected for cover art at W.W. Norton, St. Martin’s Press, Harcourt, Bookspan, Simon & Schuster, etc. Print Regional Design Annual New York (2003) awarded her for book jacket photography for If Wishes Were Horses. In 1997 Macmillan published City Riders: A Story of Riding and Friendship her first book of black-and-white photographs and a story about three teenage girls in the 1990s who rode horses at the now-defunct Claremont Riding Academy and oldest stable in New York City. In 2023, RF created an interactive installation, works on paper on the female body, in a public space. In July 2022, Fineberg’s Double Helix was included in a Sotheby’s auction in New York City and exhibited in the preview show Contemporary Discoveries. Selected exhibitions include Time Gallery New York (2022), Phyllis Harriman Gallery New York studio shows (2020, 2022), CADAF online art fair (2020), Gallery122 New York pop-up group...
