About the Item
Flora 06 is a vibrant Digital C-Type print in an Edition of 15 in this size by contemporary photographer duo Tortora & Travezan.
Arching across this opulent floral backdrop our model creates appealing and sensual curves with her porcelain-hued body. Totally nude, she nonetheless reveals her intimacy to the viewer with grace and confidence.
While this approach might risk objectifying her body, Tortora & Travezan carefully and sensitively avoid this by composing a nude portrait that balances delicacy and sensuality with a rigorous respect of art historical structure and form.
Her torrent of crimson hair floods across her face, obscuring her identity and placing emphasis on the nudity presented to us. Lying partly on her side and partly on her front, she creates a seductive shape with her body; her thighs lie together, subtly revealing her intimacy, and her torso is positioned to only render one breast visible to the viewer.
Photography duo Tortora & Travezan create vibrant portraits that combine nude and still life. David Tortora and Jaime Travezan met in London in 2006, where both were pursuing creative careers. Following their first collaboration on fashion editorials and portraiture, they soon presented their first fine art photography project, "Galatea".
In "Galatea" the duo pays hommage to influential American Pop artist, Tom Wesselmann. Their bold approach took Wesselmann's 1970s series "Bedroom Paintings" and reimagined them with a contemporary vibe.
They continue this adventurous and uncompromising marriage of colour and close-up nudes in "Flora", their second fine-art series that celebrates nature and the sensuous freshness of spring.
