About the Item

"Chrysalis" (FRAMED) Nude Photography 60" x 40" in Ed. 1/3 by Aaron Mcpolin Archival Giclee Print & Museum Framed Size framed: 61.5" x 41.5" in OTHER SIZES AVAILABLE: Edition of 15: 24 x 16 in Edition of 7: 36 x 24 in "Treasure The Erotic" series" ‘A laud to pleasure, honoring and valuing the erotic.’ Treasure The Erotic proudly honors and values eroticism through a unique collection of luxurious avant-garde artworks. Applying symbolism and conceptualism the artist’s Colin Burn and Aaron McPolin draw the audience’s attention to the value of eroticism and how that value is perceived within modern society. Limited edition artworks are showcased as opulent trophies to the erotic, held aloft like ceremonial swords, paying homage to various fetishes, and sexual practices. This collection of art sets out to guide the viewer on an erotic journey of education and self-discovery, with the invitation to face our own preconceptions while exploring interesting facets of the erotic with a positive and tender ethos. It's with new ink, we can brush new strokes offering a tender dissolution of detrimental views towards each other and our chosen sexual practices. By creating this positive mindset toward the erotic, the experience strives to open up the conversation on how our society should value and respect eroticism. History does show a multitude of evidence across all societies and cultures that we have striven to display, understand and explore our eroticism through symbolic ritual and ceremony, however in our modern society pornography seems to have claimed the forefront of the sexual narrative overshadowing eroticism and its important nuances, often leading to a devaluing of the erotic. Treasure The Erotic offers a metaphorical insight into various erotic realms each emphasizing the nuances of eroticism through striking photographic and video art narratives and exquisite jewelry sculptures crafted from the finest materials that establish a symbolic and genuine worth that simply cannot be devalued. ABOUT THE ARTIST: Aaron McPolin is an award-winning erotic photographer who specializes in capturing fine art nude imagery that explores taboo themes. Their work is known for its provocative yet sensual nature, and the way in which it challenges traditional notions of beauty and sexuality. McPolin views art as a means of not only expressing oneself but also driving social change and innovation. He designs multi-sensory exhibitions that take viewers on a journey of self-discovery and introspection. With a background in fashion, film, and fine art, McPolin's works have been featured in publications such as Playboy, Penthouse, and Vogue, and exhibited in major cities worldwide. In his words, "Through art, I can show the truth of something; it's only through the vulnerability of art that we see a glimpse of who we really are." With each new image, Aaron McPolin pushes the limits of what is considered acceptable in art, creating a new language for discussing sexuality and taboo subjects. Through their work, they are able to engage with these difficult topics in a way that is both empowering and respectful, challenging the viewer to confront their own beliefs and preconceptions. Through their mastery of photography, McPolin creates images that are both stunning and evocative, inviting the viewer into a world of sensuality and desire.

Within these masterpieces Ortega discovered her passion for not capturing poses, but motion and how looking closely at the in-between moments of life can bring to light undiscovered emotions. About the photo: Aldara Ortega spontaneously captured this image of a friend on a trip to the British Virgin Islands. One Love was created through the guidance of Ortega combined with the model's complex past with water. We tend to try and fight the tempests of life, but we must learn how to float and let things be. One Love blossoms...
