Terrence Higgins Trust - 2023, Live Auction

These male body studies in daylight were taken in Mariano Vivanco’s studio in Islington, London. Dan was photographed in the year 2020 and David in 2021. The nude subjects are caught in a state between motion and stillness. Light flows from the side through grand windows over the herculean physiques, creating definition and highlighting form. Exposed to the environment in an empty space, the men have only four walls protecting them from forces outside of their bodies. Strength in vulnerability, the subjects surrender to the energy exchange between themselves and the viewer. 

These two giclée prints come in custom hand made gilded silver leaf frames with UV-filtering low-glare glass.
