Funhouse Gallery
An erotic art show featuring oil paintings by Marty Winters - the escort girls of Craigslist and beyond. According to the artist: "It seemed natural to me to take these fleeting digital images - often shot with a cell phone camera in a mirror, and turn them into small oil paintings as both a way of preserving the images and documenting the women historically. Each painting is my best attempt to replicate what I see, cropped just as found with no editing. The idea was to develop a technique that was filtered through John Singer Sargent and Gil Elvgren, with the result being my take on classic pinup illustration and boudoir portraiture."
