About the Item

Underwater Study #2870 photographed by Howard Schatz. 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 black-and-white photograph by Howard Schatz, part of his acclaimed underwater study series, presents a mesmerizing and surreal depiction of the human form suspended in water. A nude figure, likely female, floats with limbs gracefully extended in a balletic pose, her movement frozen in a moment of ethereal stillness. The photograph captures not just the physical body but its transformation through the medium of water. The water acts as both a lens and a canvas, distorting the figure in elegant and unexpected ways. The surface ripples create undulating lines across the subject’s body, abstracting her form while preserving its inherent grace. Her reflection merges with her real shape, resulting in a ghostly double image that blurs the boundary between reality and illusion. The image is set against a deep, black background, which isolates the figure completely, enhancing the sense of quietude and dreamlike immersion. Light plays delicately across her skin, creating stark contrasts that sculpt her body into a luminous, almost otherworldly presence. There is no context—no horizon, no surface, no frame of reference—only the human form and the water’s influence upon it. Emotionally, the photograph evokes themes of vulnerability, transformation, and transcendence. The figure appears to be in a state of metamorphosis, as if caught between worlds—part human, part abstraction. It is both intimate and distant, serene yet powerful. Howard Schatz’s underwater work often explores the boundaries of form, motion, and perception. This image exemplifies his ability to use water not just as a setting, but as a creative partner—allowing the body to speak in new visual languages, fluid and unfixed. Howard Schatz has established himself as one of contemporary photography's most versatile and innovative artists. Beginning his career as an ophthalmologist, he transitioned to photography, bringing his scientific precision and understanding of visual arts to create extraordinary images. His portfolio spans multiple disciplines, from his groundbreaking underwater photography to his celebrated studies of dancers and athletes. Each image reflects his mastery of light, form, and movement. His "Athlete" series redefined sports photography, while his underwater work opened new perspectives on human grace and fluidity. Schatz's unique approach combines technical excellence with artistic vision. His studies of the human form challenge conventional perspectives, using bold colors and innovative compositions to transform bodies into abstract sculptures. This is evident in his "Body Knots" series, where dancers become living sculptures, and in his underwater sequences that defy gravity and conventional perception.
