Hi, I am a second year art student currently working on a project looking at the use of sexually explicit imagery in contemporary art. I find the work of Mode 2 and Insa really interesting - I just wondered if anyone knew of any other street or graffiti artists working with the same sort of sexually explicit content as these guys, or with a similar focus on sex/fetishism/pornography etc.?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help!

BAST has some great images with sexual overtones. He did an entire series with women using dildos on themselves. I think Urban Angel may have one piece from that series still for sale.

Thanks - do you know if that series featured in a show or not? The archives on his site are pretty bare and the Urban Angel piece seems to have gone. Cheers.

David Choe is worth a look too.
Some on his blog: You might have to look at the previous posts to see them.

Not really a street artist, but Jonathon Yeo's collages made from porn mags spring to mind...

Thanks for the links Dr. B; very interesting juxtaposition with the Pepsi logo's in the background there.

Re: banksee, thanks, I adore Choe's work - I include him wherever possible as it is! Cheers.

Anyone else come to mind as 'the Jeff Koons of street art'?!

I would say Cum* might be worth checking out!!!!

Bast is probably the biggest pervert out there.

Giving papa Smurf a python lenth p***s proves this.

Check Part2ism. He's got loads of arse, pussy and tits on many of his pieces. Check this link: www.urbanangel.com/department/partism/

[dutchfella]

although not as explicit as Mode2's new stuff, Trxtr uses sex as a concept for some of his work delaing with war and obsession with celebrity, blah blah blah

To be honest, check out some early Nick Walker work. He went through a "blue period" too....

[mycanoe]

These are all great thanks! There seems to be a good mix of artists exploring these themes in both serious/conceptual ways (Yeo, Trxtr) and less serious ways (Bast's Papa smurf!)

I've never heard of the artist Cum* before - not a name I'm likely to forget though! His work is really cool, and actually quite conceptual...that name though, geez(!)

Thanks for the link to the auction Afroken, that's a particularly great help.

jonathan yeo (while not strictly a 'street artist') uses pornographic material in the construction of his art.

In Zürich there is actually a gallery specializing in sexually explicit art: www.porninart.ch. In 2009 they had an exhibit with Handiedan, an artist with some popularity on this board.

I suggest the new Mode 2 (original available at Laz) - www.lazinc.com/artists/mode-2/

Or Grant Schexnider's explicit paintings - www.google.com/search?q=Grant%20Schexnider

[Squarity]

david walker's art has definatly got a erotic feel.

[rrrich]

kelsey brookes doesnt shy from full frontal in his sketches and paintings. have a look at the laz website and laz shop too: www.lazinc.com/artists/kelsey-brookes/original-art/2922/

I don't get exactly what you are going for here. You say you want to look at sexually explicit images in Contemporary art, but you seem to be limiting it to the urban art genre. Unfortunately, the street art genre is a pretty conservative movement (*que collective gasps from forum members) in comparison to other contemporary art.

Quite frankly, people like Terrence Koh (you can buy pairs of underwear that he's cum in), Leigh LeDare (takes sexually explicit pictures of his own mother), and Bruce LaBruce (has been working on gay zombie porn films lately) blow Yeo's va***a collages out of the water.

Never heard of this artist until a minute ago:-

Yep, Leigh Le Dare is very close to his mum...

I've just been to the Tate Modern today, they have a couple of free exhibits that feature sexual images...
