EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases exquisite wooden figures of men and women hailing from the enchanting north-east region of Peru. Nestled within the upper Amazon basin, these remarkable artefacts are currently housed in the esteemed British Museum's collection. The vibrant colours adorning these figures bring them to life, while their intricate details evoke a sense of human likeness that is truly awe-inspiring. The female figure gracefully captures attention with her delicate hand gesture, exuding an air of elegance and poise. Meanwhile, the male counterpart stands tall beside her, emanating strength and masculinity. Together, they form a harmonious couple that symbolizes unity and companionship. Against a pristine white background in a studio setting, these wooden masterpieces take center stage as they showcase the rich cultural heritage of Peru's indigenous people. Crafted meticulously from wood by skilled artisans, each figure tells its own unique story through its carefully carved features and expressive gestures. Renowned photographer CM Dixon expertly captures this image with his keen eye for detail and composition. Through his lens, he immortalizes not only the beauty of these artefacts but also pays homage to their historical significance. As we admire this photograph print without any commercial intent or use in mind, we are transported to another time and place – one where artistry intertwines with tradition amidst the lush landscapes of the Amazon rainforest.
