Sexy(ish) Art By Pascal Mohlmann

Before you get too excited over the promise of all those old masterly mounds of naked flesh in artist Pascal Möhlmann's online portfolio, keep in mind the succinct description of his work furnished by our esteem'd colleagues at Box Magazine: "The result is Norman Rockwelll on heroin." Art history geeks will appreciate the opportunity to catch the references to classic paintings sprinkled throughout his work (look, it's a Manet!); everyone else can keep busy deciding whether his gritty yet sublime nude studies are a turn on or closer to possessing all the erotic appeal of a medical illustration or crime scene record. Either way, the porn-inspired sensibility that infuses much of his work should keep you studying all those brush strokes for a while.
