OBSESSION

by Martin Rafael Class, Marc Blackie (Introduction)

The female nude has been an inspiration and an obsession for both the male and the female for a long time. Does the world need another collection of artistic studies of the female form? It's a question that can be answered with another Is the world bored with nature yet? The definite answer is a clear No. The work of Martin Raphael Class engages the female form, nude, dressed, bound in fetish sub-genres or elegantly posed. These images combine a comforting nostalgia combined with darker, more introverted mood.
