About the Item
Galatea 9 is a vibrant C-Type Print on Fujiflex Paper in a Limited Edition of 9 + 2 Artist Proof with Dimensions of 100cm x 100cm.
In this print, Galatea has been compartmentalised so as to render her overall form all the more desirable and appealing. Here, only the toes of her right foot are visible to the viewer, nestled in amongst lily leaves and buds.
Although the foot is not traditionally seen as the most sensual part of a woman's body, Tortora
Travezan imply a heavy sensuality to this small scene by playing on the concept of what is present by its absence. The foot leads the viewer to the ankle, then the calf, and a shapely thigh before the curves of her flared hips appear in one's mind's eye...
This is a sensual portrait that prioritises a woman-centric version of the Greek myth by respecting her dignity.
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.
Prints are produced to order and shipped unframed.
