About the Item
Ballet shoes with the iconic Chanel Logo, photographed by Tyler Shields in 2012. 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 Tyler Shields photograph, titled Chanel Ballet (2012), is a bold and striking black-and-white image that seamlessly blends the worlds of high fashion, luxury, and classical ballet. The composition is minimalist yet powerful, focusing solely on the feet of a ballet dancer en pointe, adorned with custom white pointe shoes featuring the iconic Chanel logo on each toe box. The image carries a strong sense of contrast—both visually and conceptually. The stark white background and pointe shoes create a clean, crisp aesthetic, while the black Chanel double-C logo adds a touch of branding that immediately evokes luxury and exclusivity. The tight framing and high contrast emphasize the elegance and discipline of ballet, while also making a statement about the intersection of commercialism and art. Tyler Shields is known for his provocative, high-concept photography, often merging elements of pop culture with fine art. This image challenges traditional notions of ballet as a purely classical and artistic pursuit by integrating a powerful fashion symbol, questioning the commodification of art and performance. The juxtaposition of delicate, worn pointe shoes with an unmistakable luxury brand speaks to both the beauty and brutality of ballet—an art form defined by grace yet demanding immense physical endurance. This work is emblematic of Shields' edgy and conceptual style, often blurring the lines between fashion photography and social commentary. The image could be interpreted as a commentary on how luxury infiltrates even the most disciplined and traditional forms of art, or simply as a celebration of beauty, strength, and branding. Hailed as “the Andy Warhol of his generation” by Sotheby’s, TYLER SHIELDS is a celebrated fine art photographer renowned for his daring and provocative images. Originally a world-champion inline skater, Shields brought his relentless drive to photography, soon becoming one of the youngest artists featured at Sotheby’s. His work has been showcased in prominent galleries worldwide, from Los Angeles to London, and he has collaborated with major brands including Armani and Adidas. Known for pushing boundaries, his shoots often involve high-risk setups, from models holding flaming luxury items to posing with live lions—each shot crafted with his signature intensity and vision.

Tyler Shields
Born in Jacksonville, Florida, and now recognized as “Hollywood’s favorite photographer,” L.A.–based contemporary artist and filmmaker Tyler Shields has evolved from the “bad boy of photography” with his controversial blood-stained photographic series featuring Lindsay Lohan to the more subtle color-explosive poesy of his “Chromatic” series, and his work featuring Francesca Eastwood (Clint’s daughter) to the fire-starting, bag-sawing antics of a $100,00 Hermès Birkin bag, to the stoic magic Surrealism of “Suspense,” a project shot in the New Mexico desert featuring Franseca Eastwood, Emma Roberts and Lydia Hearst — Shield’s art captures the emergence of an artist and his medium into a more mature overture and output. He is an American image-maker.
Born in 1982, Shields’ work derives from a unique history directing music videos and working with the legendary skateboarding icon Tony Hawk. Mr. Shields has produced images that play with notions of the gaze, power structures, hyper-realism, iconoclastic tendencies and cinematographic practice. He has worked with a roster of ranking members of Hollywood including Mischa Barton, Emma Roberts, Aaron Paul, Demi Lovato, Juno Temple, Shiloh Fernandez and more. Tyler’s output involves various mediums from book publishing The Dirty Side of Glamour in 2011, to a novel entitled Smartest Man, and a cluster of solo shows.
