L’Escalier by André Carrara at Maison BARNES Manhattan
This collaboration is beautifully showcased at Maison Barnes Manhattan, where visitors are greeted by L’Escalier, a captivating photograph by French artist André Carrara, curated by The Selects Gallery. This piece epitomizes the timeless elegance and finesse synonymous with French artistic expression, perfectly complementing the refined ambiance of Maison Barnes.
Captured 25 years ago in Naples, this black-and-white image invites contemplation with its interplay of light and shadows. The stairway, nestled in a seemingly abandoned garden, hints at a path leading to a hidden castle or wherever the viewer's imagination wanders.
French photographer André Carrara is renowned for his work in fashion and advertising, collaborating with prestigious magazines such as "Elle" and "Vogue." His creations, like "L'Escalier," showcase his keen sense of composition and aesthetics. The photograph captures a spiral staircase that draws the eye inward, emphasizing geometric shapes and contrasts through its use of black and white, lending it an almost abstract quality.
Carrara's distinctive approach involves manipulating architectural lines and forms to create visually compelling and intriguing images. The scene exudes a magical charm, offering a dreamlike experience to the viewer, reminiscent of "The Great Gatsby".
