Reinhard Görner
Dangerous Love, Secret World of Plants, German Macro Botanical Photograph

2024

About the Item

In this mesmerizing macro photograph, Görner masterfully captures the delicate interplay between form and color within a flower's intimate landscape. The soft, diaphanous pink petals sweep across the frame like silk, leading the eye to a dramatic focal point where golden stamens and vibrant magenta pistils create an exquisite natural composition. This piece exemplifies Görner's acclaimed 'Secret World of Plants' series, where his sophisticated approach to macro photography reveals the hidden architecture and ethereal beauty within the natural world. A remarkable addition to any collection focused on contemporary botanical art or abstract natural forms. Dangerous Love, 2024 Series: Secret World of Plants 30 x 45 inches Ed of 7 40 x 60 inches Ed of 5 50 x 75 inches ed of 3 signed and numbered on label, verso Known for his large scale work, Reinhard Görner (b. 1950) uses macro photography to explore the enigmatic spaces in flowers and plants. This series is called the 'Secret World Of Plants'. It uplifts us, inspires us, and appeals to inner spheres of beauty and tranquility. "In this body of work I am particularly interested in the tension between areas of sharpness and spheres that remain undefined, blurred, leading into a magical world. It is my wish that these pictures allow the viewer to experience an open space of his own inner stillness." Reinhard Görner records cultural and industrial heritage through his series of photographs depicting contemporary and historical architecture, landscapes, parks, and plants. Best known for his photographs of libraries and reading rooms from around the world—in works such as George Peabody Library II, Baltimore (2017) and Riggs Library I, Washington DC (2017)—Görner captures the atmosphere of absolute silence and concentration the spaces embody while also revealing their almost cathedral-like sense of grandeur. Görner’s images have a vivid sense of depth and dimension that convey an impression of intimacy, as in Isaac Newton, Cambridge (2017), or monumentality via his precise and skilful use of framing and perspective.

She has also been a subject for them; as she puts it, “we are professional posers.” Recently, however, she has worked to paint portraits of those whose gaze is more internal—monks and nomads in Tibet, aboriginal people in Taiwan—creating large bodies of portraits that investigate the limits of the genre. She returned, with her daughter, to Hockney’s studio in 2014, not only to sit for him but to paint him once again. Her practice involves the long sittings and intense looking required of traditional portrait-making. Muse X Editions.
