About the Item

DIETRICH MOOD 2011 From “Portraits” project Print run 7+2PA Digital Photography Fine Art Print on Canson Infinity Platine Photo Rag , Epson UltraChrome K3 ink, plexiglass on alluminium dbond 3mm Each limited edition original photograph is printed in Italy under artist supervision in strictly limited edition, signed and certificated by the artist More sizes: CM 80X60 Print run 7+2PA (plexiglass on alluminium dbond 3mm) CM 40X30 Print run 10+2PA (unframed, in design folder) “If you look me in the eyes, you find yourself reflected.” Portrait. The most powerful and profound media that exists. It talks about the subject being shot but mostly it talks about who is shooting. A double glance that investigates the other but in return allows ourselves to be questioned. Eastern cultures are well aware of the magical power of portraiture and are wise enough not to waste its inherent energies. Monica Silva have portrayed hundreds of people in her life and some have left unique and indelible impressions on her. She photographed the Oscar-winning Paolo Sorrentino in his house in Rome while he was writing the movie The Great Beauty, She peered into the mind of a creative genius as he is, and she perceived his soul as an enchanted place where anything can happen. She observed the centenarian Gillo Dorfles in his most intense shades in Venice for Corriere della Sera. Time, for any mortal, is the most fearsome opponent but not for Gillo who lived it as a valid ally, challenging life and time, leaving his unforgettable physical and mental presence wherever his feet have trodden this earth. And then she shot the great Toni Servillo, always intent on bringing out the character he is playing at that moment more than himself while the "diabolical" device as it was called by the most sceptical in the first world expo in Paris in the late 1800s, caught his very true self, well hidden but not for the camera, that with a flash of light, lit up his soul. Portraiture is a vast enchanted and mysterious world to be discovered. A Portrait session can be therapeutic to help the subject in front of the lens bring out something that might be frightening to show. And this is all the more true when the subject is a woman because through the feminine face and body the Brazilian photographer always tells something of her own story, an individual fact that is shared with whoever is in front of the lens, something she has glimpsed and that she feels belongs to all women. Monica Silva is an excellent photographer looking for lights with light. Hers are rays of interiority revealed with camera lenses. For Monica, the black tube technical sequence of circular lenses becomes a sceptre to dominate the hidden appearance of the people's soul and transpose it with respect in the form of an image. She learned to be at the same time the painting of Adélaïde Labille-Guiard and to live like the curious French artist able to portray Louis XVI's grandchildren and Robespierre. An artist who is above politics but also committed to the belief of the right to be not only a woman but a creative mind. A mind and a heart which develop still images but are rich in kinetic potentiality.

    Located in Miami, FL
    Medium: Silkscreen on canvas covered with with diamond dust Edition 8 of 10. White frame Carole A. Feuerman (born 1945) is an American sculptor and author working in Hyperrealism. She is one of the three major artists credited with starting the movement in the late 1970s. She is the only woman to sculpt in this style. Her career is highlighted by iconic figurative works of swimmers and dancers. She has been included in exhibitions at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery; the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia; the Venice Biennale; and Palazzo Strozzi Palace in Florence, Italy, among others. Growing up in New York, Feuerman was deterred from being an artist. She attended Hofstra University, Temple University, and graduated from the school of Visual Arts in New York City to begin her career as an illustrator. During the early 1970s she went by the artist’s name Carole Jean, illustrating for The New York Times and creating album covers for Alice Cooper and the Rolling Stones. In 1981, Feuerman was chosen by a jury at the Heckscher Museum in Long Island where she exhibited. After this she was invited to participate in the ‘Learning through the Arts Program’ at the Guggenheim Museum. Feuerman received the Charles D. Murphy Sculpture Award in 1981. In 1982 she received the Amelia Peabody Award for sculpture. In 2016, she received Best in Show Award for her sculpture ‘Mona Lisa’ by the Huan Tai Museum. The sculpture was acquired for their permanent collection. Feuerman has also been awarded the Medici Prize by the City of Florence, First Prize at the Beijing Biennale, and the Austrian Biennale, and in 2008 she received First Prize in the Olympic Fine Art exhibition in Beijing. The piece was acquired by the Olympic Museum. She has taught, lectured, and given workshops at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Solomon Guggenheim Museum. In 2011, she founded the Carole A. Feuerman Sculpture Foundation. Her artworks are owned by eighteen museums, as well as in the collections of the City of Peekskill, New York, the City of Sunnyvale California, President and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, Dr. Henry Kissinger, the Mikhail Gorbachev Art Foundation, Mr. Steven A. Cohen, Alexandre Grendene Bartelle, and the Malcolm Forbes Magazine Collection...

  • 'Slide' - the Rolling Stones in Concert
    Located in Norwich, GB
    David Koppel served his photographic apprenticeship in the rough-and-tumble world of the Fleet Street paparazzi in 1980’s London when his skills captured the very essence of the Me Decade that gave birth to the celebrity culture of today. Koppel’s classic photographs of Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton & the Royal Family appeared in every major newspaper and magazine and marked him out as that rarity amongst press photographers: the artist with a camera. Building on the reputation gained through the photographs for the book Still Waters, his black-and-white portraits of ordinary people now rank among the many famous names in his portfolio. Koppel also went one better and in 2002 bought the St Giles St Gallery , bringing the best of local and international contemporary art and photography to Norwich, including the works of Sir Peter Blake, Terry O’Neill, David Bailey, Maggie Hambling, Storm Thorgersson, Tim Woolcock...
