About the Item
Galatea 11 is a vibrant C-Type Print on Fujiflex Paper in a Limited Edition of 9 + 2 Artist Proof with Dimensions of 100cm x 150cm.
In this photograph, Tortora
Travezan invert the main roles of the Greek myth of Pygmalion. Whereas in the original myth Pygmalion the sculptor falls in love with the sculpture he has created, Galatea, in this rendering Galatea is alive while Pygmalion is inanimate.
This is represented through the luscious, succulent fruit which depicts Galatea's stimulating sensuality, while Pygmalion is represented through the bright pink plastic phallus that, we imagine, is inching ever closer to the ambrosial seeds of the papaya fruit.
The placement of the neon-pink phallus directly in front of the split-open papaya induces the viewer to think of one specific erotic act. The abundance of glossy, luscious fruit seeds dripping out into the tableau enhances the overall sensuality of the image...
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".
The series "Galatea" takes its name from the Greek myth, Pygmalion. According to legend, the sculptor (Pygmalion) fell in love with a statue he had carved (Galatea) that in turn fell in love with the sculptor when brought to life by Aphrodite.
The series is an homage to the work of Tom Wesselmann. The compositions pay tribute to the American pop artist with a contemporary, hyper-real re-interpretation of his iconic early Seventies ‘Bedroom Paintings’ series.
All prints produced to order and shipped unframed.
