Erotic voyeurism


Just look at this. Even without knowing what is the exact context, the intense directional swift that this composition holds is enough to drive you to conjure up ambivalent meanings and multiple interpretations. But knowing that the White House is watching a video, shot from helmets of special unit soldiers, facing Osama Bin Laden as he’s being killed in a military operation, elevates this moment to erotic vividness. The intensity of the faces as a source of creation, the body language which enhances males' manhood and females' womanhood, and the intimacy that allows into such a moment in the depth of the White House.
Is there any better way to look deep into the blinded moral devotion of a nation?

Al Johnson

Al Johnson, illustrator, fine artist, educator and mentor has developed an inclusive vision that captures the Classical, weaves it with the contemporary and refracts it through the prism of his remarkable individuality. While formally trained in the techniques of the Great Masters, Al Johnson’s art, in fact, goes to the essence of jazz in that it brings together many influences while celebrating individuality. Mr. Johnson honed these skills, while attending famed institutions such as Pratt Institute, the Albert Pale School of Commercial Arts and the Arts Student League.

Massimo Pulini

Massimo Pulini, from the northern Italian town of Cesena, has won international acclaim and in 2002 was commissioned by the Vatican Museums to paint the ceiling of the entrance to Pope John Paul II’s private library. In 2006 he was invited to hold a solo show at the prestigious Italian Cultural Institute in London curated by Sir Denis Mahon, the renowned British art collector and historian of Italian art.

 


Pulini was also included in a major retrospective of 20th-century Italian art held in 2000 at the Scuderie del Quirinale, one of Rome’s top public museum spaces.
Pulini’s work has in the past been strongly influenced by Italy’s Baroque masters. He recently took a new direction with the use of enamel paints blended on the support surface to create vivid, vibrant portraits
