Description

Archival pigment print on Epson premium semi-matte. Edition of 9. Why do we dream of a simple and unique image of Eden; What happens when pain represents our sanctuary...

The artwork presents a provocative, high-contrast black and white portrait that captures two figures immersed in a gothic, avant-garde aesthetic. The central figure features a striking headdress reminiscent of a halo, adorned with sharp, radiating spikes. Their face is intricately painted, with dramatic black lines cascading like streams of tears or veins. The companion figure, slightly behind, sports horn-like protrusions, invoking imagery of mythological and otherworldly creatures. Both wear studded, collar-like accessories, reflecting a fusion of futuristic and tribal elements. The juxtaposition of the stark white face makeup against the dark, textured background creates a sense of depth and intensity. This artwork transcends mere fashion or performance, delving into themes of identity, duality, and transformation, while challenging conventional norms through its bold, unyielding visual language. The composition is a masterful blend of fantasy and rebellion, invoking a visceral response from the viewer.

Léa Bon, Gargolas

Léa Bon

Argentina  • 1993

Presentation

Léa Bon is an androgynous fashion and art photographer, with a unique, personal and spiritual body of work. Dreams and fantasies from the past and present are portrayed by Léa Bon's subjects, which she uses as her own personal dolls.

At a young age, Léa Bon found in photography the means by which she could construct her own small worlds using her imagination. Her work breaks with the stereotypes of traditional photography and goes beyond the human eye; it is a fusion between art, fashion, and humanity, evoking surrealism, expressionism, and hyperrealism.

She has done multiple exhibitions about her life, among them “First Cycle-Innocent Vision", composed of 25 works of art that portray her personal journey. Her photographs have been published in numerous fashion and art magazines around the world.
