Lustfully Yours, 1999
Oil on canvas
36 x 48 in.
As a young man, I was interested in why something so natural to our being, is repressed or weaponized. One night at a strip club, my good friend took a Polaroid with a porn star, Nikki Dial. This is that picture which she signed, now painted. I was amazed at how she was completely naked in a room full of men, yet seemed to hold more power than the Pope holding mass on Christmas Eve.
