Explicit Content is a riotous study of spectacle and seduction. The work stages a carnival of fetishised imagery and playful iconography, where the line between provocation and parody blurs. Desire here is never simple, it is packaged, exaggerated, and already mediated by the glossy surfaces of mass media. The figure at its centre becomes both subject and commodity, absorbed into a theatre of appetite where the erotic, the comic, and the absurd are tangled together.
What emerges is less a portrait than a performance of culture itself, a witty reflection on how spectacle is consumed and reproduced. Explicit Content does not moralise so much as mirror back the ways in which visual culture markets temptation while claiming to regulate it. Glossy, bold and deliberately provocative, this one-off artwork delivers both bite and colour. It is a piece that starts conversations, a statement artwork that demands attention on any wall.
This work was exhibited in CONTENT, a 2024 solo exhibition at Braemar Gallery in Springwood, New South Wales. Within the exhibition it resonated as a sharp reflection on appetite and performance, part of a broader exploration into the mechanics of 21st century media saturation.
