Rudy barret - Surface Tension - XL

Rudy Barret – Surface Tension – Canvas XL – Limited Edition ⸻⸻⸻ THE WORK One line. Two worlds. In Surface Tension, the surface of the water cuts across the model's face with almost unreal precision. Above, white light, the geometry of the tiles, and a gaze perfectly controlled. Under the water, the blue becomes deep, shapes transform, and glints of light glide across the skin. The intense red of the swimsuit and the floral cap breaks this aquatic palette and immediately creates the anchor point of the composition. But the strength of the image lies in this horizontal boundary: only a few millimeters separate air from water, control from letting go, what is shown from what is kept submerged. The model does not flee from the gaze. She faces it in absolute silence. Surface Tension thus transforms a pool scene into a graphic, minimalist, and almost cinematic portrait. ⸻⸻⸻ DETAILS OF THE LOT • Title: Surface Tension • Artist: Rudy Barret • Limited Edition: 1/20 • Format: XL • Dimensions: 46 × 66 cm (3 cm white border included) • Support: Fine Art print on premium canvas • Framing: Sold unframed and without stretcher • Presentation: The work is shipped rolled • Shipping: Securely sent in a rigid protective tube • Signature: Signed on the back by the artist • Certificate of authenticity: Provided exclusively by email ⸻⸻⸻ THE ARTIST’S STATEMENT « What interested me here was not simply to create a portrait in water. I wanted the surface to become a boundary in its own right within the image. The face still belongs to the outside world while the body already seems to tilt elsewhere. The reflections, the pool blue, and that very present red then build two universes that coexist in a single photograph. It is this tension between the two that gave the work its title: Surface Tension. » — Rudy Barret ⸻⸻⸻ ABOUT THE ARTIST Rudy Barret is a French photographer and visual artist whose work explores contemporary photography, landscapes, architecture, portraiture, and cinematic universes. Through his compositions, he places central emphasis on light, perspectives, and atmospheres, seeking less to document a scene than to provoke an emotion and suggest a story. His works are offered in limited editions and conceived as strong images capable of retaining their presence both in a private collection and in a contemporary interior.
