About the Item

Kronos by Guido Argentini is a commanding male figure study from the acclaimed Argentum series. The silver-painted man bows forward with his feet together and his muscular arms extended outward like wings. A strong cast shadow repeats the broad gesture behind him, creating a second visual presence and intensifying the photograph’s dramatic symmetry. Argentini’s directional light defines the shoulders, back, arms and legs with sculptural precision, transforming the human body into a monumental metallic structure. The pose conveys strength, submission and the weight of time, connecting the mythological title with a contemporary exploration of masculinity and physical form. The 50 × 50 cm format is a new and smaller format, allowing collectors to experience the photograph’s anatomical power and striking shadow in a versatile scale suited to studies, offices, private gyms or modern residential interiors. Many other male figure studies, dramatic shadows and limited edition silver photographs from Guido Argentini’s Argentum series are also available through PREISS FINE ARTS. This limited edition fine art photography print is made to order and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed and numbered by the artist. Produced to the highest archival standards, it represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a collectible work by one of the most influential photographers of the modern era. Museum-grade framing can be organized through the gallery to the highest conservation standards, ensuring the artwork is beautifully presented and preserved for generations to come.

Thoth, Argentum Series - Limited Edition Fine Art Print

By Guido Argentini

Located in Vienna, AT

Thoth by Guido Argentini is a dramatic close study of the male torso from the acclaimed Argentum series. Cropped tightly around the chest, abdomen and hips, the photograph celebrates muscular structure through an intricate pattern of metallic highlights and deep shadow. The silver-painted surface turns the body into a monumental contemporary sculpture. Argentini’s directional lighting reveals every plane and curve of the anatomy, while the raised arms remain outside the frame and intensify the vertical tension of the composition. By excluding the face, the photographer shifts attention from identity to form, texture and physical presence. Thoth is an exceptional example of modern male nude photography...

Uranus, Argentum Series - Limited Edition Fine Art Print

By Guido Argentini

Located in Vienna, AT

Uranus by Guido Argentini is a powerful male figure study from the Argentum series. A silver-painted body bends forward with arms extending toward the floor, while the arrangement of limbs and reflected forms creates the impression of a doubled or multi-layered figure. The compact pose transforms masculine anatomy into an intricate sculptural construction. The photograph is defined by muscular detail, symmetry and carefully controlled studio light. Argentini’s metallic treatment accentuates the shoulders, arms and legs, while the neutral background allows the form to appear monumental despite its inward, folded position. The result is a striking work of contemporary male nude...
