Tom Gallant - Art From Pornography

Meta: January 10th 2008 // Modern Art & Design

Found this feature on Tom Gallant over at Cool Hunting. I strongly suggest you watch this artist that makes his creations using magazine after magazine that features…..PORN.

 

Tom Gallant

 

“Living and working in Brussels, Belgium, Tom Gallant creates hand-cut floral prints out of archived pornographic magazines. Using a surgical blade, he cuts into the imagery, layering extremely delicate cut-outs on top of one another to assemble a dramatic visual experience that almost blurs your vision. If you look closely you can see hints of hair, lips, neck and genitalia, but it’s the paper’s flesh tones and curvature that stand out.

Soft spoken and a self-proclaimed compulsive collector, he describes his work as a visual language “dealing with a private matter in a very public way.” - Cool Hunting
