Galatea 5 is a seductive and arresting limited edition, Digital C Type photograph by Tortora Travezan. The elaborately staged photograph is part of the Galatea series inspired by the sexually charged, sun drenched, iconography of Pop Art painter Tom Wesselmann. Tortora Travezan have employed digital manipulation to create intriguing scenes of fantasy where nothing is what it seems. The hyper real colours and vivid foliage of Galatea 5 suggest an exotic location, while the beautiful and mysterious subject adds a touch of glamour and drama. Galatea is the name of a statue the mythical Greek sculptor Pygmalion carved, brought to life and fell in love with in Ovid’s Metamorphoses.
