Jacob Aue Sobol



Jacob was born in Denmark, in 1976 and grew up in Brøndby Strand in the suburbs south of Copenhagen. He lived as an exchange student in Strathroy, Canada from 1994-95 and as a hunter and fisherman in Tiniteqilaaq, Greenland from 2000-2002. In Spring 2006 he moved to Tokyo, staying there 18 months before returning to Denmark in August 2008. He now lives and works in Copenhagen.
After studying at the European Film College, Jacob was admitted to Fatamorgana, the Danish School of Documentary and Art Photography in 1998. There he developed a unique, expressive style of black-and-white photography, which he has since refined and further developed.
In the autumn of 1999 he went to live in the settlement Tiniteqilaaq on the East Coast of Greenland. Over the next three years he lived mainly in this township with his Greenlandic girlfriend Sabine and her family, living the life of a fisherman and hunter but also photographing. The resultant book Sabine was published in 2004 and the work was nominated for the 2005 Deutsche Börse Photography Prize.
In the summer of 2005 Jacob traveled with a film crew to Guatemala to make a documentary about a young Mayan girl’s first journey to the ocean. The following year he returned by himself to the mountains of Guatemala where he met the indigenous family Gomez-Brito. He stayed with them for a month to tell the story of their everyday life. The series won the First Prize Award, Daily Life Stories, World Press Photo 2006.
In 2006 he moved to Tokyo and during the next two years he created the images from his resent book I, Tokyo. The book was awarded the Leica European Publishers Award 2008 and published by Actes Sud (France), Apeiron (Greece), Dewi Lewis Publishing (Great Britain), Edition Braus (Germany), Lunwerg Editores (Spain), Peliti Associati (Italy) and Mets & Schilt (The Netherlands)

Esao Andrews



Esao Andrews grew up in the Arizona desert, and moved to New York in 1996 to complete his BFA in Illustration at the School of Visual Arts. After graduating in 2000, he spent the next few years working as a flash animator while painting in his free time. Andrews exhibited his oil paintings in coffee shops and group shows before landing his first major two-person show at Fuse Gallery in New York alongside John John Jesse in 2003. He has since collaborated with Tara McPherson for a DC Comics project, and has created album artwork for several bands, as well. Esao Andrews has developed a signature cast of dark and surreal characters, blending erotic and sometimes frightening surrealistic images, in a manner that is often compared with other American artists like Mark Ryden and John Currin.
Andrews participated in the 2002 BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery in London and cites Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Alfons Mucha, and Joe Sorren as major influences.

Saturno Butto



homepage
Cult painter Saturno Butto portrays fetish alongside religious ritual, painstakingly executed in oil by a classically-trained hand. Here forceps and gags are sacred, eating, masturbation and bondage are divine ceremonies and provocative harlots are saints. Butto's use of fetish tools as religious objects and vice versa moves beyond simple shock value; he elevates the themes that classic religious painting deemed taboo, undressing martyrs and placing pleasure on its rightful throne. Gold and vermillion, royalty and blood, ecstasy and violence converge here to build shrines to beauty, seduction and power all the while demolishing altars of dogma.

Nobuyoshi Araki

Araki, Nobuyoshi (b. 1940), Japanese photographer and multimedia artist, born and resident in Tokyo. A prolific producer of photo books (over 100), by the close of the 20th century Araki had become Japan's most famous photographer. He began his personal work during off hours from his job at the advertising agency Dentsu. In 1964 he received the Taiyo Prize (founded that year) for the series Satchin and his Brother Mabo. The year 1971 saw the appearance of his privately published Sentimental Journey, an intimate record of his marriage to and honeymoon with his wife Yoko (who died in 1990). He went freelance in 1972, and throughout the 1970s self-published numerous xeroxed photo albums. He is best known for his nudes and explicit sexual images, often involving bondage. Shown by major museums, these works have stimulated debate and sometimes brought clashes with the authorities in Japan and abroad. But his oeuvre also comprises flower studies, landscapes, and portraits. ‘Erotos’, a word invented by Araki combining eros (love) and thanatos (death), defines the major theme in his work. In Japan, he is commonly called ‘Ararchy’ (Araki/anarchy), a term also coined by himself. Declaring that every photograph is intimate, a kind of ‘I-photograph’, he also makes ‘false series’, putting false dates on photo prints which disrupt our definitions of reality and fiction.
— Madeleine Hill Vedel
No introduction needed, I busted my balls uploading all these photos so there are probably double pics here and there, I'll fix that later.
Aslo, if any of you have some pics or entire book scans that are not here please send an e-mail (belowthefog666[at]gmail.com) and I'll put them here.
