What are your inspirations?<br />
Great art of the past, the Internet & a strong desire to paint not just a great masterpiece but<br />
also the most sickeningly beautiful painting the world has witnessed. This may take a bit of<br />
time...<br />
Is there a relationship between you and the subjects you are painting?<br />
Since the Internet is a visual medium ( & due to poor eye sight) I have found I no longer want<br />
to use life models, so I now use a composite of images I have lifted from the net such as, free<br />
porn sites, family & friends facebook profile pics but mostly google image search!<br />
I would literally have over a million images stored in some format or another. Ultimately, all<br />
my art is a masked representation of me & my relationships within & with this universe .<br />
There is a strong touch of sensuality in every of your paintings...do you believe that fine art<br />
erotica is still alive, and if it is so...can it survive the modern era?<br />
I believe the very act of creating is a sensual act if not an erotic one.<br />
In regards to fine art erotica, I am not sure it has ever been alive, it has certainly been around<br />
for many thousands of years yet history & its proclaimers have time & time again been proven<br />
to push it into the background or dismiss it has a frivolous act by the artist or even burn it! I<br />
think this is a great shame. However, in this modern era global agendas are changing plus due<br />
to the Internet explosion with the ease that erotic imagery can be found today I think in time,<br />
attitudes will change & we will see it hanging on gallery walls & displayed in homes more &<br />
more.<br />
I mean ask yourself, why is pornography the most searched subject on the net? What compelled<br />
man to decorate his cave with such subject matter all those thousand of years ago?<br />
I believe the erotic impulse is the vital impulse & is fundamental to all of human existence,<br />
as for ‘Art Erotica’ this modern era certainly provides a platform for it to become more widespread<br />
& accepted.<br />
What’s the best and worst parts of being an artist?<br />
The best? Being an artist! The worst? The seemingly constant justification required to be one.<br />
