Cordially contributing a photographic interpretation of the essence of Lynn & Horst, the creator himself states: "These are pairs, but pairs not that they are separate but that they are slight shifts in viewing of an object. Each is a study that I keep in the background of my studio, pinned to the wall. Lynn & Horst I also come back to as an example of a study, the pairings of objects and references. In these desk and model studies the objects and references become each other."

Namesake

Photos Horst P Horst

Finally a tribute to the beautiful work of Horst P Horst that has been long time overdue. Gracious nymphes in black and white. Precise still life compositions. Architecural male nude portraits.

Imitative Simulacra

Artworks Bruce Sargeant

A body of work dedicated to the athletic body. Torn between realism, magic realism, social realism and surrealism. Statues of implied presence, revived by the rythm of lines and incomplete structures.

Stages Of Development

Hussein Chalayan Fall/Winter 2008

An intricately draped jumpsuit dissolving into a voluminous dress until it becomes a super flat, almost square shape. Working as the plain canvas for an antique vanitas motif.

Domestic Scene

Artworks David Hockney

Tonight my heart belongs to the arts. In particualar these delicate 60s paintings. Keith Haring has to share me with David Hockney. Doesn't this evoke a beautiful image?

My Delight

The perfect start in a birthday: balloons, gifts and a decadent breakfast. A child again with 28. To be continued...

Best Of Hedi Slimane

Photos Hedi Slimane

His portraits are from purest beauty, but the texture shots and still lifes are beyond. I don't need more than glittering tar, bubble wrap and patterns in endless repetition. Okay, maybe a little bit of naked skin.

Skinning Study

Photos Doctor Casino

Seven volumes: one large, two medium, four small, assembled within a limited envelope of space. Shifty and overarticulated stalactites. Models stuffed into the cheapest sack of apples. Very sexy, I say.

Random

There is nothing more fun than googling cactus. Honestly, you have to try it.

Aren't unnecessary things very unnecessary? Like this pencil holder? Ok, it's a giraffe pencil, so maybe the special treatment is justified.

Flowers And More

Artist Nobuyoshi Araki

This time I skip the nudity part (what a Horst surprise) and focus on the withered and broken. The vulnerable and injured. The beauty of fugaciousness. Araki captures a poetic and intense feeling, still with a sexual connotation, but evolving into more subtle ways of expression.

Constructed Landscapes

Photos Maurice Scheltens

This is pure beauty. Maurice Scheltens is ingenious. A subtle observer and creator of stunning sceneries. Always on the edge to chic trashiness. No matter what material he works with, his objects transform into breathing, artificial beings.

Mylittleponyism

Photos Wyne Veen

Minimalism, kitsch and absurdity merging into abstract portraits of everyday silliness. I would like to call it Mylittleponyism. Maybe a new art form?

Frukost

Horst likes Swedish food. If he could, he would marry a pistagebulle.

Porcelaine Love

His portfolio is quite nice. I choose the white horses for you. The dicks and tits you will have to find yourself.
