About the Item
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 his series 'Private Rooms' Argentini plays with our notion of privacy and constructs a hidden erotic universe in which we never know what we will encounter - our deepest erotic fantasies or even a parallel world. The sizzling erotic images, both artistic and simple, are characterized by a dark glamour all of their own. This work is a bird' s-eye view of an L-shaped couch and glass coffee table. A model is lounging on the sofa, one of her legs resting on the backrest. She is only wearing black stockings and smoking a cigarette, not acknowledging the camera. The square black-and-white image has a graphic, almost abstract look. The model's light skin contrasts with the dark interior, and the implied voyeurism adds another layer of interest to this piece. 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.

Located in Vienna, AT
Limited edition prints. Available in three sizes. High-end framing on request. Each artwork is done and signed by the artist. The collector receives an additional certificate of authenticity from the gallery. "In photography, you are always searching, selecting, and taking away. If you make these decisions, then photography is always a journey of self-discovery. Sharing my work with others is like a conversation - it's not about the words you exchange, it's the feeling you walk away with. The unconscious meets the conscious in the act of photography." - Vincent Peters Vincent Peter's black-and-white aesthetic carefully captures the celebrities and models in front of his lens. Playing with shadow and depth, his camera softens harsh contours and lends a romantic, almost nostalgic aura to his photographs. From Charlize Theron to Emma Watson...
