Sasha Grey, Work Of Art

Lux Alptraum — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 13:30:01 EDT

In between her busy schedule of making porn, making music, modeling, and starring in movies, Sasha Grey has found a moment to sit for artist James Jean once more... and the results are stunning. (processrecess.com)

Justine Lai Gets Some Political Action

Lux Alptraum — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 13:30:01 EDT

At first glance, Justine Lai's paintings appear to a series of pretty standard erotic paintings, a young Asian woman in flagrante delicto with a rotating cast of older white men.

But a closer look reveals that there's something familiar about this group of men, as if we may have seen them somewhere... maybe in a history book or something? And then it hits you. This beautiful woman is having her way with all the presidents of the United States of America.

What's it all about? Justine's artist's statement makes her goals pretty clear:

I paint myself having sex with the U.S. Presidents in chronological order. I am interested in humanizing and demythologizing the Presidents by addressing their public legacies and private lives. The presidency itself is a seemingly immortal and impenetrable institution; by inserting myself in its timeline, I attempt to locate something intimate and mortal. I use this intimacy to subvert authority, but it demands that I make myself vulnerable along with the Presidents. A power lies in rendering these patriarchal figures the possible object of shame, ridicule and desire, but it is a power that is constantly negotiated

Justine, consider yourself officially Crush Objected.

Lick To Experience — Or Just Look, If You Prefer

Lux Alptraum — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 15:30:05 EDT

The about page of Lick to Experience informs us that "[t]his website/blog is ruled by 5 individuals who besides being addicted to pornography are also creative beings who enjoy taking photographs, drawing, doing computer stuff, music or things alike." Frankly, they had us at "addicted to pornography," but the fact that they channel that addiction through artistic endeavors (you know, besides synchronized masturbation) makes us like them even more.

Whore Doors and Dirty Birdies: The Art of Ken Keirns

Violet Blue — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 11:15:04 EDT

Painter, illustrator and sculptor Ken Keirns has a bio that's as good as they get, including such nuggets as "He has always wanted to be an artist, except for that short-lived stunt man period when he was nine." We're glad that he ended up being what he (mostly) wanted to be when he grew up, since we're already big fans of the whimsy, attitude, and general boobfulness of his work. Check out his "Whore Doors" full-size portraits of sex workers painted on (surprise!) actual doors; his "art toys", where vintage Fisher Price doodads are turned into porno playthings; and all those paintings of the muse who pops up again and again throughout his portfolio, whose very nice rack is worth a visit in its own right.

Dashiell Bennett — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 11:05:26 EDT

Sarah Palin is the subject of yet another bit of artistic whimsy—a nude portrait currently hanging in a North Side Chicago bar. Who says the (potential) Vice President can't inspire people? (windycitizen.com + Flickr)

A "celebrated artist" in the UK is not being allowed to hang her self-portrait in a gallery because the nipples are too big. Plus, everyone who has seen her nipples knows that the shading is all wrong. (dailymail.co.uk)

Dashiell Bennett — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 09:52:15 EDT

Artist Julio Aguilera is still working on his "Ladies of San Fernando Valley" project, but there's only one problem—he needs more ladies. If you or someone you know is a pornstar who fits the description in this "ad" and want to be featured in a funky cubist painting, get in touch. Hey, maybe you'll be in a museum someday!

Dashiell Bennett — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 09:56:58 EDT

Can you imagine a painting so "brazen, abandoned and vulgar" that it could not be shown in public for more than 60 years? Yeah, well you probably didn't just imagine something as tasteful as this nude piece. Maybe you should get your mind out of the gutter? (telegraph.co.uk)

We know that you simply cannot get enough...

Dashiell Bennett — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:17:50 EDT

We know that you simply cannot get enough Sasha Grey in your life—DVDs, photos, streaming downloads, YouTube, VHS, baseball cards—so how about some Sasha Grey paintings? Artist James Jean spent some time with the multi-platformed one and these are the results. The only downside is that you don't get to listen to her filthy dirty talk, but we guess you can't have everything. (processrecess.com)

Lux Alptraum — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 12:45:35 EDT

By day, Mister is a professional tattoo artist; by night, he transforms into a painter of dirty pictures, which we're glad have found a new online home since we first stumbled upon them a couple of years ago. Sounds like our kind of superhero! (Come on, pictures of naked ladies are way more important than that whole crime fighting thing.) (idlehandsandadirtymind.blogspot.com)

If you've been worshipping at the altar...

Lux Alptraum — Fri, 30 May 2008 11:35:26 EDT

If you've been worshipping at the altar of the porn saints, it's time to get off your knees and make a pilgrimage to the very first Pornsaints Art Exhibition. You'll have to go to Berlin to pay your respects, but we're sure that you'll be generously rewared for your devotion. (church.pornsaints.org)

The buyer of that $33 million Lucien Freud nude painting has been revealed to be Roman Abramovich, a Russian oligarch who also owns a British soccer team. If you've ever wondered what oil billionaires do with all that money, there's your answer. (mirror.co.uk)

Lucien Freud's "Benefits Supervisor Sleeping"...

Dashiell Bennett — Wed, 14 May 2008 13:40:49 EDT

Lucien Freud's "Benefits Supervisor Sleeping" sold at auction last night for $33.6 million, the most money ever paid for a work of art by a living artist and certainly the most money ever paid for a picture of a naked woman. We think his grandfather called this "wallet envy." (artdaily.com + bloomberg.com)

Cynthia Westwood's Nude Bathroom Pict ... Er, Paintings

Dashiell Bennett — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 11:32:00 EST

Maybe it's the dust that the sandman left in our eyes, or something we drank last night — but our vision must be a little wonky this morning, because we were halfway through this gallery of photographs of naked babes in the tub before we realized that that they aren't actually photographs at all, but paintings of naked babes in the tub. Yes, Cynthia Westwood's art style is so realistic that you could be forgiven for getting confused or even for fantasizing that these are real flesh and blood women who you just happened to find in your bathroom. You can see for yourself online, in her book, or in a gallery in Switzerland (until April 7, anyway), but try to remember that you should not attempt to feel up any of the actual images. We already learned that lesson the hard way.

Gaze Into The Future With Fred Harper

Lux Alptraum — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 12:07:20 EST

"You should write about Fred Harper," a friend told us. "His art has lots of naked body parts — large-penised gentlemen and bulging boobs galore!" Clearly, this is a friend who knows us well. As promised, Fred's paintings and drawings do feature more than a few large-penised gentlemen and bulging boobs (though not large penised gentlemen with bulging titties, mind you — we'll have to go elsewhere for that). It also features cyborgs, dismembered bodies, and plenty of other random meta-metaphysical and surrealist touches. It's like the erotic art of the past combined with the porn of the future. Oh, and did we mention there are lots of bulging boobs?

Dashiell Bennett — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 18:37:48 EDT

Want to see a painting that looks sort of like what Beyoncé might possibly look like if she were naked? We don't think that URL would be there under her clothes, though. (brucebriggs.blogspot.com, via idontlikeyouinthatway.com

Sexy Nude Paintings By Arthur Braginsky

Dashiell Bennett — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 13:20:34 EDT

Painting nude forms is a challenging enterprise, because unlike a photograph, which lasts for just a moment, putting brush to canvas takes hours of dedicated craftsmanship—plus it must be impossible to keep your hands steady while staring a naked model for hours at a time. Ukrainian artist Arthur Braginsky seems to have it down though, as he has a huge selection of gorgeous paintings in his collection that are full of color and sexiness and that capture females forms as well as any silly camera can. Try your best to stay as calm as he does.

Frank Luzian York's Fine Art Nudes

Lux Nightmare — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 11:05:20 EDT

The nice thing about fine art nudes is that they're ... well, art, and you can look at (and buy!) them without feeling like a total perv. The nice thing about Frank Luzian York's fine art nudes is that they're gorgeously sexy images that wouldn't be out of place on your favorite arty porn site (Shaved pussy? Check. Angsty looking girls? Check. Striped socks? Check. Corsets? Check.). It's the best of both worlds: arty enough to satisfy your classy side, porny enough to satisfy your horny side ... a sort of oil paint version of SuicideGirls. Just try to remember not to get the canvas all sticky.

Erotic artist (and all-around hottie) Genevive Zacconi knows what women really want: a big fat diamond and a big fat cock—preferably one that comes with a big fat diamond cock ring. Anniversary present, anyone? (genevive.com)
