Naked City Spleen is a project where Photographer Miru Kim photographs herself nude in amongst urban ruins. Abandoned subway stations, tunnels, catacombs, factories, hospitals and shipyards. What’s scarier is that she works mostly alone!!! Brave girl, beautiful work.
Sydney based Mike Walsh is a leading authority on digital media and works in Group Strategy at News Limited. He’s got many fingers in many pies and has an amazing CV. But of interest to Sex in Art is Modelux, Mike’s lifestyle brand for people who want to escape from their everyday lives.
They have organised some of Sydney’s coolest parties (be sure to watch the you tube videos in the “eye candy” section, damn why wasn’t I invited to that pool party!). From the Modelux manifesto:
“Sure – its all a bit hedonistic. But don’t forget. Our parents got to be kids in the sixties, drop out of university and addle their brains with chemicals and cosmic cults. We got the eighties, AIDS, Reagan and the cold war. So if you didn’t get it the first time round – now is the time for your second childhood.”
He also runs a Flickr feed where he features his photography of Sydney’s beautiful people.
Spencer Tunick inspired?! Just when you think you’ve seen it all from those crazy Japanese! 500 person sex is just that, 250 Japanese women and 250 Japanese men, all in the one studio having synchronised sex. (via).
Yes, our fave bad boy photographer Terry Richardson is still causing mischief. Lee Jeans just threw him $150,000US to do their next campaign. More on the deal here.
Belgian Photographer Gianni Candido. Diverse and creative themes in his portfolio section and credit where credit’s due, I love how he credits his models as well as hair and make-up artists too. (via).
Voyeuristic devils and horny demon creatures. Michael Hutter’s work is all very twisted but beautiful at the same time. Love his different styles and mediums. Fantastic etching like work, great paintings and really freaky photoshop art too. Visit his site for more.
Wow, how kinky is this? Russian contortionist Zlata in some sexy high resolution pictures. Click here for the gallery. (via).
Fantastic new work from Polish Photographer Waclaw Wantuch. Really black blacks, refreshingly different and genuinely interesting shapes and forms and great use of the body as landscape.
Lost At E Minor is a website and weekly email newsletter that sources out and features the best new illustration, photography, art and music from around the world.
It is the product of a collaboration between brothers Zac Zavos and Zolton Zavos who come from backgrounds in IT and magazine editing respectively and who wanted to work together on a project which tapped into their unique skill base and interest in various mediums of creative expression.
A MUST subscribe (hey it’s free!), it’s super nice to get their inspirational smack in the face directly in your inbox.
“We like the mistakes that posting every day necessitates. Some of our worst photos are our favorites — some of your worst are also our favorites. We like pretty but we prefer dark. We like exposed but we prefer sure. We like fresh but we prefer dirty.”
Very beautiful photographs on Rose and Olive’s Flickr stream.
Vienna-based photographer Matthias Herrmann is not known for shyness, at least in front of his own camera.
As an openly gay artist willing to present himself nude, in jockstraps, in underwear, or in drag, he has used his own body in books, self-published magazines, and exhibitions spanning the major cities of Europe, North America, and Australia to explore and comment on the state of the contemporary world, its culture, and its politics.
His work is witty, amusing, sexy, and provocative. It is also deeply committed to testing the limits of what it means to live in a society where traditional definitions of everything from masculine and feminine to public and private are no longer as stable as they were for earlier generations.
Australian Artist Abbey McCulloch makes beautiful paintings. Flat backgrounds, mute colours and beautiful style. I’m biased as I own one of her paintings and it hangs in my lounge room where I worship it daily.
Tony Ward’s photography has appeared in publications the world over. A lot of his work is for fashion, design, and portraiture but perhaps what he’s most known for is his passion for erotic art. Check his site for more.
Orly Cogan takes old and new fabrics and unleashes her artist talent in the form of sexy embroidery upon these materials… My grandma would be mortified…
I really like her work, it’s soft and sweet in some respects, in others it’s quite harsh and dirty. Her own site features a number of her works from embroidery on vintage fabrics to printed fabric, and some of her drawing, be sure to check out these sites here and here for further examples of her work.
Forget-me-not is a dainty little ‘interactive wallpaper’ piece made by Peter Saville and Julie Verhoeven for SHOWstudio (many more projects worth checking out on the site). (via).
Gothic Fetishism, check out the fantastic work of Brom.
Some interesting research on visual ways to dissolve pornographic imagery in abstraction and absurd at JLNDRR.
I was sooooo disappointed when i recently visited Sexy Losers only to discover its creator, Clay has made the hard decision to stop updating his highly amusing and successful online comic. But don’t let that stop you from visiting the site. There are 244 individual comics to his series. Witty, naughty and a little wrong, I’m sure you’ll enjoy.
