Eiffel Promenade
2023 – Paris, France
Captured on a polaroid, this shot of the Eiffel Tower is rich in texture and nuance, revealing the painstaking artistic intervention that gives it a unique emotional depth. The artist chose to photograph the Eiffel Tower in a classical composition, showing it majestically towering above the Seine, framed by the verdant quays. However, what makes this work truly singular is the deliberate and creative transformation of the original image. The colors have been radically altered: a dominant fluorescent green envelops the quays and vegetation. This bold palette lends the scene a surreal, almost fantastical dimension. The sky, usually blue, is tinged with shades of gold and blue, creating an almost mythical end-of-day atmosphere. These altered colors reinforce the impression of an ideal, romantic twilight. The Eiffel Tower itself is enhanced by a bright yellow, slime-like intervention that seems to rise from its base and dissolve in the air, symbolizing both the permanence and fluidity of time. The surface of the Polaroid is marked by cracks and stains, adding a visual texture that evokes the passage of time and wear. Far from distorting the work, these imperfections enrich its visual narrative, recalling the fragility of memories and the beauty of imperfection.
The different types of frames and finishes available
The print comes with its certificate of authenticity and a Hahnemühle hologram affixed to the back.
The framing is left to your discretion.
The floating frame, sleek and modern, is one of the preferred framing choices for contemporary art galleries and museums.
The floating frame perfectly enhances your photographic print.
The spacing between the frame and the image creates a floating effect and highlights the image, making it an ideal art frame to maximize the depth and elegance of the artworks in our collection.
The print is mounted on a 2 mm Dibond panel and placed in the frame.
The depth of the floating frame is 4 cm, and the gap between the photograph and the inner edges of the frame is 0.8 cm for black or white finishes and 1 cm for wood finishes (Oak, Wenge, etc.). This arrangement creates a visually pleasing “floating” effect. Finally, a hanging system is attached to the back of the frame for a quick, easy, and secure installation.
This classic framing combines timeless elegance and sophistication, offering a sublime presentation for your most precious artworks and photographs. A wooden or aluminum frame, chosen for its simplicity and nobility, adds a touch of authenticity and refinement to your piece.
The mat, an essential element of this ensemble, enhances the artwork by creating a visual space around it. It highlights the details and nuances while adding extra depth. Carefully selected, it perfectly complements the artwork without overwhelming it, allowing every detail to stand out.
Finally, the museum glass, of exceptional quality, provides optimal protection against harmful elements such as dust, humidity, and UV rays. With its unmatched clarity and anti-reflective properties, it ensures perfect visibility from every angle, allowing your artwork to shine without distractions.
This harmonious ensemble transforms each piece into a masterpiece, ready to be admired and preserved for generations to come. Investing in a classic frame means choosing to enhance and protect what you cherish with unparalleled distinction.
