Standing as a bold and definitive monument of contemporary choreography, masterfully challenges traditional staging by shifting professional ballet movement into a high-contrast studio environment within the realm of international black and white dance photography. Part of Ricky Cohete’s critically acclaimed Motion series, this unique physical creation completely removes terrestrial constraints, using sharp directional lighting to isolate and study the curves and lines of the male physique. The overlapping layout tracks an intense graphic rhythm where the stylized, muscular lower limbs are frozen mid-gallop, moving in sequential symmetry through a deep environment void and heavy classical shadows. By intertwining the smooth skin contours with the infinite cadence of raw movement, the artist transforms a technical performance into a profound visual essay on bodily expansion and eternal dance.
Throughout his exploration of movement of the body, with modern and ballet dancers, as well as a focus on the male physic; he has concentrated on the curves and lines of the their anatomy. The expansion of the body as it intertwines with the light and the infinity of motion as an eternal dance are captured in this Figurative photography.
