About the Item
Acrobatic Nude in Silver Paint, photographed by Guido Argentini in 1995. 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. 'Cassandra & Clytemnestra' is a nude portrait of two models with silver-painted skin. Their bodies are twisted around each other acrobatically. The silver metal tube around them structures the image and underlines the shapes of their bodies. With his 'silver series, ' Guido Argentini explored the human body in a sculptural manner. Dancers and Athletes are depicted in twisted, flexed, and distorted positions. The reflective silver paint covering their bodies emphasizes the forms and adds a surreal, dreamlike touch. Dramatic poses, tender touches, and longing glances populate Guido Argentini’s photographic landscape. The Italian star photographer, celebrated in all genres, has a particular gift for the female nude. Juxtaposing and contextualizing the female body through cityscapes and the natural environment, Argentini playfully compares color, forms, and moods. His diptychs and singles are suffused with a sense of longing and memory. From beauties in pompous buildings to bondage – the self-taught artist explores every dimension of sensuality. Eternalizing the female form in gold and silver, Argentini elevates his subjects to goddesses and mythical creatures of age-old tales.

Guido Argentini
Guido Argentini is widely known for his evocative landscapes and stylized color nude photography. The Los Angeles-based artist has freelanced for numerous magazines and has garnered acclaim for his book, Silvereye, which collects sensual photography of nude female models that have been covered in metallic chrome paint.
Born in Florence, Italy, Argentini initially studied medicine at the University of Florence. He left after three years of study to pursue an interest in photography — a passion that brought him to the United States in 1990.
Since the debut of Silvereye in 2003, Argentini has published Private Rooms, Reflections and Shades of a Woman. An admirer of performance art as well as visual art — he has drawn on sculptures by Michelangelo, Auguste Rodin and Constantin Brâncuși — Argentini explored a fusion of motion and eroticism for the images of ballet dancers that are collected in 2013’s Argentum.
Renowned publications such as Vogue, Marie Claire and Playboy have all featured Argentini’s photography. His work has been exhibited at Todd Kaplan Gallery in California, the James Gallery in Russia and elsewhere.

Guido Argentini was born in Florence, Italy in 1966. He lives and works in between Los Angeles, Florence and Rio. Argentini blends the erotic and artistic in his photographs. Taking the ancient Greek concept of Eros as a starting point, Argentini explores the nature of desire. His series span glamorous old Hollywood – inspired color photographs to black-and-white boudoir shots.
Argentum by Guido Argentini evokes the luminous polished planes of the work of Brancusi and the verve of Degas’ ballet sketches...
