Every Curve Tells A Story

What is ‘Conceptual Pinup?’ Conceptual pinup art uses the beauty of the female figure as well as surrealist imagery to bridge the gap between the material and spiritual domains. The pinup tradition has always celebrated  form — glamour, confidence, as spectacle. This work keeps that tradition but goes way beyond skin-deep considerations. Beneath the pose and the polish, each work delightfully initiates a conversation about am abstraction, whether a spiritual truth, a deep social observation, or a philosophical question. 

The contradictions are no an accident; there is a method to the madness, a language of symbols with a logic that places a soul inside a body — the infinite, given shape, given skin, given a particular personality.

Recurring figures — an animal, an object, a gesture — carry weight beyond itself: power before it has chosen a direction, innocence beside knowing, discipline beside indulgence. The femme at the center of each piece is a cosmic director of that raw, mysterious, irrational life force that can be spun for good or for evil.  The symbols tell a story of her choice.

Eroticism, symbolism, and a measure of class express the concepts. Humor gives it spice — after all, the seriousness of our human existence requires we not take ourselves too seriously.  The work is meant to be seen with eyes of the spirit.  Twice, thrice, four times or more until it speaks something meant for your ears only.
