Théo De Gueltzl, New York

Description

This vertical photographic artwork by Theo De Gueltzl features a striking sculptural figure mounted on a wooden base. The torso-like shape is constructed from wire mesh heavily encrusted with a textured, white foaming material and melting wax. Atop the figure sits an elaborate, ornate headdress densely adorned with silver ornamentation, pearls, and central emerald-green gemstones. A single lit white candle stands to the left, held within a protruding structure, with melted wax dripping down its length. A small green container and a draped green towel rest on the wooden support surface below. The entire composition is set against a solid, warm golden-yellow background, illuminated with soft directional lighting that accentuates the rough textures and reflective gems.
