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).
I love this guy. Highly stylised body forms. Christopher also appears to be a bit of a fan of Star Wars.
Refreshingly beautiful portraiture paintings by Montreal based artist Kristi Ropeleski.
Super nice work by San Fransisco based artist Eric Bailey. Great style (love the smooth soundtrack on his site too).
“Rodeo 27 is a non profit playground for graphics and art. We only serve the few who care and we do little to please the masses. We oppose against the general idea, that all Internet content should be light, focused on profit, and built for 10 second browsing”.
Check it out, 6 “issues” featuring great grungey pieces from various designers published by the super talented Jakob Printzlau.
