Erik Tanner, New York

Description

A striking black-and-white photographic portrait captured by Erik Tanner features a shirtless man levitating horizontally in mid-air against a deep black background. He wears shiny metallic trousers and an open jacket, his body suspended diagonally above a draped table that holds two loaves of bread and a small bowl. The dramatic lighting creates high-contrast highlights across the metallic fabric and the subject's form while casting the lower portion of the frame in deep shadow. The composition plays with surreal weightlessness and classical still-life elements, resulting in an arresting visual narrative.
