Description

Teresa with Blach Origami Skirt by Efren Isaza Archival pigment print mounted on aluminium, intervened with paint, ink and intentionally scratched by the artist. Signed, titled, dated and annotated in pencil on the reverse. 

This striking artwork juxtaposes minimalism with dramatic elements, featuring a central figure of a woman set against a stark, monochromatic background. She is adorned in an avant-garde, sculptural black gown, its pleated texture contrasting sharply with her bare torso. The backdrop is a canvas of chaotic black drips, reminiscent of paint or ink, cascading from the top and framing the composition with raw energy. Her pose exudes confidence and mystery, with arms raised and head partially obscured by an elaborate, high-fashion hat. The interplay of light and shadow adds depth, emphasizing the contours and textures within the piece. This artwork is a bold exploration of form and movement, marrying elements of fashion and abstraction, creating an atmosphere of elegance wrapped in enigma.

This of one of a kind intervened artworks produced in 2009 and 2010 marks Isaza's artistic shift from traditional fashion photography into fine art. It was at this time that Isaza began to explore beyond the camera lens through the process of applying physical interventions onto his printed images - using paint, crayon, tape, graphite, and other such unconventional materials. This process gave him an avenue to explore photography to a larger developed scale, giving space for his female subjects to be depicted with more of a sense of grandeur.

Efren Isaza, Teresa with Black Origami Skirt

Presentation

Efren Isaza, one of Colombia’s most influential fashion photographers, initially studied fashion design. He united his interest in fashion with one of his earliest passions: photography. Graceful female figures lounge in fashionable poses. Paper costumes that seem borrowed from Oskar Schlemmer’s triadic ballet make the ballerinas look like marionettes. Their dislocation recalls the puppets Hans Bellmer featured in his surreal photographic experiments. Frida Kahlo’s face with her dark, furrowed eyebrows, peers at the viewer out of different scenes; her hair is knotted artfully on her head. The allusions evoked in the imaginative creations of Colombian Fashion photographer Isaza are diverse: he cites and alienates an arsenal of styles before melding them into new compositions OF ONE OF A KIND LIMITED EDITION ARTWORK. It might be a certain scene, a poem, a petal of a flower, or the idea of a person that inspires a new work. His passion for breaking the boundaries of traditional fashion photography is palpable in each of Isaza’s unique works. He is less concerned with fashion than the image, the play of contrasts and the magic and the emotions sometimes saturnine, sometimes buoyant, sometimes surreal, and yet always beguiling that the image transports.
