FLOCKS / Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater II (Close-up), 2015 by Nir Arieli

Archival pigment fine art print signed by the artist and delivered with a Certificate of Authenticity.

This work belongs to Nir Arieli’s internationally acclaimed FLOCKS series, a photographic exploration of collective bodies, emotional proximity, and the silent architecture formed when dancers move and rest together. The image captures members of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater II in a tightly layered, intimate composition that blends portraiture with sculptural movement.

Available Sizes

  • Edition of 8: 40 × 51 cm (16 × 20 in)
  • Edition of 5: 51 × 76 cm (20 × 30 in)

Artwork Overview

The close-up arrangement reveals a group of dancers resting together with closed eyes, soft lighting, and carefully controlled tonality. Arieli’s technique emphasizes texture, skin detail, and emotional stillness, making the photograph function both as fine art portraiture and as a study of shared physical space.

Artist Context: Nir Arieli & the FLOCKS Series

Nir Arieli, an Israeli-born photographer based in New York, collaborated with leading contemporary dance companies to create the FLOCKS series, including Nederlands Dans Theater 2, Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet, and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater II. Each photograph examines community, interdependence, and the expressive possibilities of bodies in close proximity.
