A book of photography which focuses on the penis by a Milan based photographer who goes under the pseudonym of Giovanni. Hey a great book to buy whether you own a penis or not! (via).
Super nice work from New York based Fashion Photographer David Ferrua.
The strange, wonderful and humorous erotic photography of Irish born Photographer Bob Carlos Clarke who sadly passed away on the 25th March 2006.
Great work by Italian Artist Saturno Buttó. His oil paintings seem to be connected to the sphere of mysticism, Christianity, suffering (with references to martyrdom and crucifixion). His work is suspended in time as the subject matter feels contemporary amongst very classical compositions and settings. There’s also an underlying theme of S/M and the dark black and red tones consistent in all of his work makes for an erotic charge. (via).
Australian artist Ross Watson’s paintings focus on the configuration of the body in imagined and real landscapes. His refined realism style makes his surreal paintings exciting to view. “Surrealism has always been an interchangeable influence on my work, I love paintings people look at and imagine walking into that scene thinking ‘Well, it’s not totally unfeasible’.”.
Soap Magazine. I haven’t been able to find out any more about this Czech magazine. Issue 1 and 1 are downloadable as PDF files but it’s issue 3 where it looks like they’ve really upped the ante and come up with the goods.
With themes of temptation and indulgence I love Will Cotton’s artwork of figures within fantasy landscapes. From pools of custard or hills of pastry, young girls gorge themselves or lie tired as if to portray bliss (or nausea!).
Some beautiful subtle gay artwork by Japanese artist Hideki Koh (via).
Ladies Weapons: “Using leopard skins, brightly lacquered colors, inset jewels and fake furs, I create a range of specialized items for wives of mafia bosses, arms dealers, sophisticated ladies and exigent soldiers….hybrids born from Italian obsession for high fashion as well as for violence”
The sexy and deadly work of Italian Artist Antonio Riello.
New York based Photographer Ryan Pfluger feels that there is a strong, vulnerable connection between the individual, their sense of self, their surroundings, and their bodies. Ryan uses his photography as a way to facilitate emotions and capture them on film, and he continues to push the envelope in regards to sex, sexuality, gender, and the relationship between an individual and their surroundings.
WE ARE PORN is a creative collective based in Cologne created by Artists David Ostrowski and Ali Khashaei. The site features porn inspired artwork by David Ostrowski, Ali Khashaei, Jennifer Lalvani, Oliver Greiss, Olivia Jasinski, Dominik Pollig, Patrick Kowalczyk, Anno Bergmann, Remigius Sappa, Anna Werner and Damian M. Zimmermann.
Basded in Warsaw, Zbigniew Reszka turned to photography to gain a more immediate emotional contact with his subjects. As a resuit, he reaches a level of intimacy which his models sometimes find uncomfortably close.
“Some models are not aware of the final effect of the session. They look at the pictures and fnd them terrifying. Others recognize themselves in ways which go far beyond the poses and the acts themselves, and into the abstract. Those keep coming back to me, and often they bring friends with them” says Mr. Reszka.
I like how he scratches comments, highlights and symbols into his work. More information, and images here.
Anthony Christian’s artistic talents were first recognised at age 10 when he was granted the privilege of studying the techniques of the “Old Masters” at the National Gallery in London.
Predominantly inspired by Rubens and Rembrandt, Anthony’s work is classic and elegant. His site also features works by two of his pupils Honey Potter and Julia Cuddlewell. Check out their series of erotic prints, that dance across into the light of surreal here.
New York based Artist Lisa Alisa. I love her paintings, explorative, personal, always beautiful even when it’s violent. Fantastic interview with her on Pixelsurgeon.
Sexy models, sexy photography by Italian born photographer Nicola Ranaldi.
Maybe she has X-Ray vision? Some really interesting drawings by New York based Artist Chloe Piene.
Jeanloup Sieff (1933 – 20 September 2000) was a practitioner of the photographic art of high fashion, and avowed a fidelity to the frivolous and superficial. His legacy places him in the top rank of fashion and art photographers.
Nice psychadelic and surreal collage artwork by Hong Kong born Artist and Designer Saiman Chow (click on “exhibitions”). Reminds me of the Yellow Submarine Beatles artwork. Some crazy motion pieces too in his portfolio. (via).
Super sexy fashion photography by London based Photographer Morten Laursen (you might recorgnise some of his work from the awesome Phamous 69). I usually hate sites which try to emulate magazines so much so that they literally force you to “flick the page” over but Morten’s work is so slick it’s worth it (and you can use the controller on the top left to go through the images too).
Italian Photographer Carlo Pieroni has a thing for Pin-Up Art. “His work is a combination of his own photography and digital manipulation where he ‘paints’ each image to create a timeless vision of femininity, always on the borderline between reality and fantasy, where the woman is never an object but the driving subject of a highly calibrated seduction game to which men always fall for”. (via).
