Tyler Shields
Python Birkin, Snake Leather Birkin choked by Python, Fine Art Photography, 2016

2016

About the Item

Iconic Snake leather birkin bag, being choked by a python snake, photographed by Tyler Shields in 2016. 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. In this haunting still life, a live ball python intertwines with a snakeskin Hermès Birkin bag, creating a striking visual dialogue between the artificial and natural worlds. The snake's organic patterns mirror the exotic leather of the luxury accessory, while its living presence challenges our perception of fashion's relationship with nature. This image captures Shields' signature style of provocative luxury commentary, questioning the transformation of wildlife into status symbols. 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. Over the years, we've built strong relationships with our artists, offering a thoughtfully curated selection that captures the essence of contemporary fine art. Our commitment to our collectors is at the heart of what we do. With a personalized and professional approach, we connect with art lovers around the world. Each piece in our collection is hand-signed by the artist and crafted in limited editions, ensuring every artwork remains truly special. Whether you're nearby or across the globe, we work with top-notch framing and shipping partners to deliver your artwork with care and excellence.
