Philip Gatward, Dahlia 6, Archival Pigment Print

Dahlia 5 is a gorgeous Archival Inkjet Print by contemporary photographer Philip Gatward. This print 16" x 20" in a limited edition of 50 prints. Gatward's first personal project, 'Dahlias', focussed on the intricacies of this unusual flower. In this Dahlia portrait, Gatward emphasises the delicacy of this particular variety of flower. The petals feature an elegant striation which lends a fragility to their overall structure. The colors of the petals are smooth. The lipstick-red hue blends with subtle and delicate touches of yellow that lighten the ambience of this floral portrait. In this ongoing and varied series, Gatward shoots his subjects, which range from flowers to animals, against the same neutral grey background, which brings out the fascinating symmetry of seeing something seemingly ordinary from very close up. The stunning variety and intense colours of these images are irresistible. As he studies the beauty and uniqueness of his subjects Gatward compels you to notice the minute details that distinguishes them all. Numbered
