I don’t do pornographic art. I have never been one that got turned on by looking at pictures of either naked men or women. But a few years ago I stumbled on to an incredible artist that truly makes love to the female form in his art rather than uses it: Hajime Sorayama. He became famous for his robot pictures, but his pin-ups all have a sensual softness to them. No two female forms are truly the same in Sorayama’s work. Though there are definite deptictions of Marilyn Monroe and Jane Mansfield and even Betti Page, the various moods of women are displayed: playful, pensive, provocative, bitch. Even his robots have a warmth to them. One of my favorite pieces is a variation on Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, only Sorayama’s is a robot I love it!

Not long ago I had a few minutes to spare and went in search of the Sorayama picture that is my alter-ego, the one I write about from time to time. While doing that search, I came across a site that was incredible. First of all, it includes art of all kinds. But there is also a section of adult art. What first amazed me is that the webmaster has included both pictures of his family and these incredibly sensual paintings all on the same web. I wonder what his wife thinks about it? But Mike's Photo Album introduced me to some other incredible artists that make love to the female form.

I was particularly taken by the works of Olivia De Berardinis, Julie Bell and Drew Posada. There is a kittenish quality in many of De Berardinis’ paintings. One of her paintings could have been drawn especially for the Sex kittens (check out the first picture on this link), though there is a kitten in the corner of almost every painting. Her paintings also have a late 1940’s/1950’s haute couturier feel for me. It is almost she is working within the high fashion industry of erotica.

Julie Bell's work has a strength and independence to it. Her knowledge of body building shows in the exquisite figures of her women, who themselves are strong and independent. Even when she is metaphorical the physical and emotional strength of her women comes through.

Drew Posada's work contains a mythic quality, covering the spectrum from Norse to Greek to Judaic themes. I am especially like his statue which reminds me of Galatea coming to life for Pygmalion.

Don’t get me wrong. Even though I can see mythology and metaphor in all these works, they are erotic. They are sensual. They are almost as good as a well-written story at turning me on.

Live well and prosper,
Jewel
