For the third year running Diver & Aguilar have teamed up with Caldas Naya and FC Barcelona to produce the international marketing and ticketing campaign for Europe’s most prestigious football club. Previewed here are some of the fine art black and white shots from their forthcoming exhibition “Icons.”
Icons is the latest work to come from Diver & Aguilar’s ongoing creative relationship with FCBarcelona, arguably the worlds best football team. These intense portraits capture the players in a very intimate way; out of context and off of the football pitch, it is not often that we get a chance to study the details of their faces as their images stare back at us in such detail.
Also showcased here is a section of the multi-media project collages featuring Lionel Messi, who was recently awarded FIFA Ballon d’Or 2010 and World Cup-winning players Xavi Hernández, Andrés Iniesta, David Villa and Carles Puyol.
Players of FC Barcelona attend a training session on the day before the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, 1st leg match between Arsenal and FC Barcelona match on February 15, 2011 in Barcelona, Spain.
