Grapefruit - Cut Fruit and Fingers, Fine Art Photography, 2017

2017

About the Item

Grapefruit with two fingers, photographed by Tyler Shields in 2017. 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. The image by Tyler Shields is a bold and provocative composition featuring a halved grapefruit held in a suggestive manner by a hand with red-painted nails. The hand's fingers are positioned between the two halves of the fruit, creating a visual metaphor with strong sensual and symbolic undertones. The texture of the grapefruit, with its glistening, juicy pulp, contrasts against the smooth skin of the fingers, enhancing the tactile quality of the image. The dark blue or teal background makes the vibrant red and orange hues of the fruit and nail polish stand out, reinforcing the striking and evocative nature of the composition. Shields is known for his edgy and conceptual photography, often exploring themes of luxury, desire, and power with a cinematic or pop-art aesthetic. This particular image carries a strong visual impact through its use of color, contrast, and implication. 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. PREISS FINE ARTS celebrates 15 years of successful collaborations with only the most esteemed photographers and collectors. Defining the photographic landscape from the start, we reshaped Fine Art Photography.
