Executed in Ezra’s characteristic silky black-and-white style, this series is a meditation on the elusive sense of liberty we experience when we sleep – or when we fully let go of restrictions and expectations. The works radiate a sense of a different reality as models effortlessly float in the air, the lines and forms of their bodies beautifully unaffected by pressures of the floor surface. The place of Levitation series in Michael Ezra’s body of work is best understood against the background of revolutionary changes that took place in the art of photography over the past decade, with its progression from film cameras & dark room printing toward digital photography. The Levitation series honors the concepts and style developed by Michael Ezra in his dark room silver prints – and at the same time it openly dispenses with limitations of physical reality, celebrating the creative freedom. Photographs by Michael Ezra are a beautiful representation of contemporary collectable American art. A solid addition to any fine art collection, they merge into settings with finesse and sophistication. The authentic original concepts and deep symbolism at the heart of each artwork – often more apparent through a composition of several works – can serve as a centerpiece for thought-provoking conversations as well as more personal meditations. Classic, timeless and elegant, each work is executed in Ezra’s signature style of silky black & white midtones and rich details. Your print is produced to the highest standards, showing extraordinary depth and detail. The naturally acid-free 100% cotton-base rag paper is of museum grade quality, specially selected by the artist: archival, heavy weight of 300 gsm, internally buffered and using no optical brighteners (it will preserve its natural color over time). Prints are made with a generous 1.5″-4″ (depending on print size) white border to help preservation and simplify framing.

Standard Matting and Framing Options Archival Cotton Rag Mat Portfolio: window mat is showing the print with 0.5″ white border to reveal edition number and signature, hinged to the cotton rag backboard with archival linen tape.
