AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Philippe Kerlo is a French photographer and artist known for his powerful, styled portraits and fashion photography. His work operates at the intersection of art, beauty, and visual seduction, often playing with contrast, sensuality, and identity. Kerlo's images are carefully staged and recognizable by their refined use of light, perfect framing, and an almost sculptural approach to the human body.
This work shows an extremely enlarged close-up of a mouth, with the lips dominating the entire frame. The depiction is in black-and-white, which shifts the emphasis entirely to the light and texture. The surface of the lips is highly detailed: the gloss, cracks, and skin textures are almost sculpturally visible, giving the image a tactile, physical intensity.
This photo is on canvas on panel.
Dimensions of work with frame: 78 x 168 cm
Dimensions of work without frame: 49 x 139 cm
Viewing is, of course, possible. Additionally, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. Furthermore, we collaborate with restorers from the professional organization: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you wish to make use of this service, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
