Chess On a Checkerboard

"My work is representational. It is metaphoric. I do not attempt to copy reality, but rather to ‘recreate’ it. I have no interest in sentiment, politics, hidden messages, or illustration in my painting. The painting tells me what to do. It is not the other way around, and it is only about ITSELF. It is only about painting, nothing more." JONI SCULLY (2008) www.joniscullypaintings.com/

Suzanne Rachel Forbes is an artist who paints a world of BDSM and other fetishes. I find myself drawn to her work in an almost secret fantasy way...... depite the risque sub-cultural subject matter.

edgy and naughty......but nice

Bert Maurits is an artist who's work I find interesting. Sometimes it borders on nasty because of its men's magazine sexual image reference, then at other times it is sensual and alluring as in this example. This is really an intriguing artist. His website is very informative and full of great examples of his pictures.
