About the Item
Vee Speers' work Phoenix is a symbol of the feminine spirit of determination and renewal. In this series about women inspired by the legend of the Phoenix, the flames and ashes disappear – emerging is the emboldening force of liberation. There’s a kinetic, galvanizing energy here as they are on the threshold of new beginnings– elegantly revealing themselves, and sensing their hard-won independence, their mystique. At once powerful and vulnerable, Speers’ portraits are timeless symbols of transformation to the renaissance of a new identity.
For almost three decades, Australian-born artist Vee Speers has crafted a style of her own in portraiture, recognizable at first sight. In her Paris studio where she has been based since the early 1990s, she dresses, styles, and metamorphoses her subjects, leaving nothing to chance. From her learning years alongside her father, she retains a preference for black and white silver prints, which she then digitalizes to partially colorize. As a result, her portraits are timeless and liminal, as if caught between reality and fantasy, transience and permanence. Threading a coherent narrative throughout her nine series, Vee Speers builds a mythology of her own, exploring femininity, childhood and its mutations.
