About the Item

This photograph is a c-print (chromogenic print) from the renowned TEASE series (exhibited at museums, the Atlanta Contemporary and Houston Center of Photography, as well as galleries and art fairs in New York, Houston and Miami). Jan Rattia says of this work, "I compose portrait-based photographs to depict partial stories, aimed to challenge the viewer through tension created both formally and topically. My images, often cinematic in style, are about the exploration of desire and emotions in [mostly] men, and in the end, a human connection.” Beautifully composed and captured in magnificent color, this rural scene features man and beast in a lush green landscape. A moment of freedom with historical, social and religious undertones represented tastefully and with an element of fantasy. Details around the image including the all-American cowboy blue jeans and boots rest in the foreground with the background of blue skies and the pasture of grazing cattle. ABOUT THE ARTIST: Jan Rattia (b. 1974, Caracas, Venezuela) moved to the US in 1994 and earned an International Business degree in 1999. He later turned his longstanding love affair with art into his reason for being and enrolled at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York City, graduating in 2012. His work has since garnered international attention and has been shown at such renowned galleries and institutions as the International Center of Photography, Philadelphia Photo Arts Center, Atlanta Contemporary, LOW Museum, Hartsfield- Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Camera Club NY, Bridgette Meyer Gallery, ClampArt NYC, and Houston Center for Photography (HCP). Rattia was a Studio Resident Artist at the Atlanta Contemporary (2014-2015), before relocating to Houston in 2016 where his Tease series was awarded the Carol Crow Memorial Fellowship and solo exhibition in 2017. He served as the Director of Education at HCP in 2018-2019 and now returns to New York City for his MFA and Fellowship at ICP in 2019. Recent features of his work have appeared in Magenta Magazine, Lens Culture, and L’Oeil de la Photographie. Rattia’s artwork can be found in exciting private and public collections, including the Roy Eddey Collection, Bill Arning, Executive Director of the Contemporary Art Museum Houston, and the Lucinda Bunnen Photography Collection at the High Museum of Art.
