'La Vie En Roses' by Fine-Art Photographer Cristina Schek | Window Display Debut
Delighted to debut ‘La Vie En Roses’ new and exciting Limited Edition series by fine-art photographer Cristina Schek in our new window display this Spring.
Looking for the tension between shadow and highlight, Cristina Schek’s latest work bears reference to her study of Old Masters such as the Italian artist Michelangelo Caravaggio and the Dutch artist Rembrandt.
Characterised by harmony and rich contrasts of colour and texture, the artist’s work is inspired by the theme of vanitas, her still life compositions being viewed as contemplations on the transitory nature of life.
The surreal twist in her work comes from the choice of titles pointing at the contemporary Hollywood cinema and such fantasy masterpieces as David Lynch‘s ‘Twin Peaks’ and Woody Allen’s ‘The Purple Rose of Cairo’.
