SIGNED - Simon Bolz - Sublime - Limited Edition - 2018

An ode to women Simon Bolz produces pictorials in which he celebrates the beauty and appeal of women. His photographs invite you to dream, take you on a visual journey that gets you into the holiday mood. His pictures are scented with suntanned skin and tell tales of freedom. On his trips, the 43 year old photographer takes you from Riga to Chuchurumbache. He gives a glimpse into private apartments, goes diving in the Mediterranean Sea, undertakes a roadtrip in a DeLorean, goes on a horse ride and many more adventures – all with beautiful young women. Whether informal and self-confident or innocent and shy, the 23 girls in 'Sublime' present themselves from their most beautiful side. The photographer from Frankfurt succeeds in finding magic moments and capturing those for us. The artist himself always remains in the background. “I used to think my sensitivity is a weakness. But I have discovered that you need to be sensitive to capture sensual photographs.” Nudity as a matter of course Bolz feels that the age of information overload and the ever faster media consumption overstretches ourselves. Slowing down and taking time to browse pictures on paper is a trend that he likes to return. When you begin to look into 'Sublime', the complex and exhausting time we live in fades into the background. It’s all about aesthetics. Bolz masters to balance entertainment with erotic tension without ever being vulgar. Nudity becomes a matter of course. The title 'Sublime' sums up the 208 pages of the book: breath-taking and jaw-dropping.
