Stripped, Uncensored Exhibition and Book Release

A motivating force behind the creation of art is the artist's desire to capture and preserve a personal visual experience in the hope of preventing its loss in the mists of time. Of all human activities, none would seem more resistant to preservation than sex—the immediate exalted physical and psychological interchange between people. The act itself is freighted with so much psychic gravity that it is hard for it to be adequately captured on a single sheet of paper or swatch of canvas. When an artist can simulate its intensity he earns our gratitude, and his art deserves our rapt attention. Bruno Gmuender Books' anthology of contemporary homoerotic art, Stripped, Uncensored is both highly provocative and sensuously appealing.

Fans of erotic art will find it a visual feast of seldom seen, eye-popping masterpieces, and will be mesmerized by the imagination of some of the world's most accomplished and genuinely brilliant talents on the erotic art scene today. The art compiled in this edition represents a uniquely personal expression of the artists’ innermost creative spirit. No two have approached or represented the male figure in exactly the same way. Whether portrayed as an heroic figure, an object of desire, or a hedonistic plaything, each is highly individualized, capturing the essence of gay sexuality with the solid push of his pen and pencil, or with the bold strokes of his paintbrush. With impassioned insight and sensitivity, each artist offers the viewer a glimpse of his private erotic infatuations. And each piece of art is the result of the artist's effort at rescuing the ephemeral ecstasy of sex from the thievery of the passage of time.

You won’t want to miss the Stripped, Uncensored Exhibition and Book Release "Living Erotic Sculpture" Garden Party. Marvel at our fanciful recreation of a Victorian sculpture garden complete with stunningly sexy men “undressed” as living marble sculptures.
