Amour en Paris: The Romance of the Eiffel Tower

A closer look at the work

The Eiffel Tower rises as a dark bluish structure within an almost black vertical frame. A few warm lights interrupt its metalwork. Fine branches spread across the foreground, placing lighter lines in front of the heavy construction. Near the summit, a narrow beam crosses the sky and redirects the otherwise upward movement.

The close viewpoint removes the landmark’s easily surveyed postcard shape. It becomes a sequence of lattice, shadow and light that must be assembled between branches. The romantic title may recall familiar images of Paris, but the photograph meets that familiarity with darkness and obstruction. Recognition becomes the act of finding a known form within a partly legible view.

Personal consultation

The work, the space, the presentation.

What interests you about this work? I take time for your questions, its origins and its place in a collection. Together, we explore differences between works and their relationship with space, light and architecture.

Size, selected materials and bespoke framing are carefully coordinated. The precise presentation develops through our conversation.

A photograph of the intended space can help us consider scale and placement.
