Más información sobre el libro

A spiritual descendant of such surrealist artists as Man Ray and Harris Bellmer, J.K. Potter is one of the most talented and disturbing fantasy and horror artists of our time. Combining art and photography, he creates stunning images with an intensely dark psychological vision that is as horrifying as it is beautiful. This new collection, his darkest yet, explores the artist's obsession with transformation and juxtaposition, often using the nude human body as his canvas. Fantasy, nightmares and madness hold a strong place in Potter's art as he explores the relationship of the body to our deepest obsessions and fears. "Erotic distillations of human and animal physique" and "interior deformities that manifest themselves in the exterior flesh" are major themes for J.K. Potter, who rearranges human form--sometimes morphing it with things animal, vegetable or mineral--to suit his unrivaled imagination. The result is an unforgettable gallery of exotic and erotic creatures who are not quite human, yet retain enough recogniz-ability to disturb and confound.
