About the Item
Silverye' depicts a nude model covered in silver paint in a symmetric, acrobatic pose, photographed by Guido Argentini. 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. "Silvereye" is a striking piece from Guido Argentini's renowned photographic series, characterized by its bold exploration of the human form as a living sculpture. This artwork captures a female figure, coated in metallic silver paint, positioned in an evocative pose that highlights strength, grace, and sensuality. The reflective silver surface transforms the body into an otherworldly, almost ethereal object, blurring the lines between human and artifice. Argentini's work draws inspiration from classical sculpture and modern photography, merging these elements to create an image that is both timeless and avant-garde. The monochromatic composition emphasizes texture and form, while the pose conveys both vulnerability and empowerment. "Silvereye" invites viewers to reflect on themes of beauty, transformation, and the artistic potential of the human body. This piece stands as a testament to Argentini's masterful ability to elevate fine art photography into the realm of sculptural elegance. 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 colour, 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. Externalizing 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.
