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. 'Purgatory' by David Yarrow is a beautifully cinematic work. The centerpiece, a historic locomotive, is surrounded by characters straight out of a Wild West movie, oldtimer cars, and a wooden railway station. The snowy hills in the background pose a stark contrast against the steam power of industrialization: "This was a time when humans were made to feel small, both by the grandeur of the untamed scenery and the scale of life's challenges. I therefore set up this historical tableau with the intent of glorifying the steam train and the backdrop without necessarily deprioritising the cast." Yarrow says about the historic Wild West theme of the project. David Yarrow is a British fine art photographer and one of the world's most spectacular and best-selling nature photographers. Visual storytelling is his craft, and large-format monochrome prints are his medium. Through elaborately staged settings, Yarrow conjures the magic of the great American history, from the Wild West to Route 66. In his wildlife photography, he captures the planet's beauty. Majestic lions, sleek panthers, and free-roaming buffalos populate his works, trumped only by the female bombshells Yarrow places beside them. While highlighting the untamed side of supermodels such as Cara Delevingne or Cindy Crawford, Yarrow portrays the wild beasts in the most human way possible.
