Description
Part of Mario Tarantino’s award-winning “A Future Past” series, “Arcade” was photographed from within Southern Africa’s Taal Monument, a brutalist era structure of austere, exposed concrete. Its slanted archway opens onto a minimalist architectural landscape of curved lines, form and shadow. The silhouetted figure is Mario’s father, bringing a deeply personal dimension to the work, the image itself a meeting point between father and son.
There is something of Giorgio de Chirico’s metaphysical paintings here, the empty piazzas and solitary figures, the same surreal sense of stillness and wonder. The silhouetted figure carries its own air of mystery, the curiosity its presence evokes. Where has he come from? Where is he going?
This black and white photograph is giclée printed with archival pigment inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag, a 308gsm acid and lignin-free 100% cotton paper. Its smooth matte surface and wide tonal range capture both the inky shadows of the interior and the bright light beyond. From paper to ink, every stage of the process is handled with care, premium materials and expert craftsmanship combining for a gallery quality artwork.
“Arcade” forms part of private collections and has received multiple international awards. Limited to an edition of 10, each fine art print is named, numbered and hand-signed by Mario, with a certificate of authenticity completing the work.
Presentation
Mario Tarantino's distinctive contemporary photography is expressed through his use of negative space, minimalist compositions, and striking contrasts. His relentless pursuit of the surreal allows him to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, creating captivating visuals that offer moments of aesthetic escapism. Working primarily in monochrome, his images are bold yet balanced, creating a visual language that has earned him numerous international awards, including multiple recognitions as Photographer of the Year.
Exhibited in cities such as Tokyo, Budapest, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and Athens, his work has reached a global audience while also becoming part of both corporate and private collections worldwide. His artistic vision resonates strongly with photography collectors who seek not only technical excellence but the ability of an image to linger, to suggest, and to evoke.
His artistic perspective unfolds across three main genres—architecture, landscape, and street photography each approached in a purist manner, using minimal elements in seeking to capture the sublime through simplicity. Much of his work is created under low light conditions, where the soft illumination gives rise to evocative imagery with a futuristic atmosphere that has become his hallmark.
His fascination with the interplay of light and shadow, texture, tone, and form is reflected in every piece, revealing his profound love of aesthetic photography. Mario uses his camera as a painter does a brush, not only to capture an image but to convey an idea, an inner vision or share their unique sense of beauty.
