Charm School, the online art portfolio and shop of pin-up artist and fetishist, Krysztof Nemeth. Supremely sexy and yet fun and full of humor, his pen work has a wonderful, playful feel to it that’s striking and powerful with it’s simple and clean stylization of standard fetish and pin-up archtypes. Drawing inspiration from classic pin-up and comicbook art, modern and retro fetish iconography and pop culture, the Seattle based artist explores the dark side of eroticism in a way that’s as accessable as it is titilating. Nemeth has recently released a book of his work, “X: The Pin-Up Art of Krysztof Nemeth.”
“Fetishism is a language, an intricate dialogue with an incredible range of meaning and expression. A shoe, a whip, a bow, an ankle, a glance or a shade of lipstick. Iconography, all of it. The power of a symbol, a signifier, a signpost on the journey to transgress the bounds of known sensuality. The interpretation, the play of meaning that sexualized objects and subjects hold together in their understanding of each other and what they bring to their dialogue is a brilliant, magical, nearly spiritual thing. Whatever reason something is arousing to us, it is part of our internal language and affects the way we view the world. It is the admitted Fetishist that is exploring this dialogue to the fullest.”
