Soft Candy - The Girls of Danni Shinya Luo

Explores shifting perspectives of beauty, attraction, lust and decency presented through alluring and decadent images of the female figure. Watercolour, ink and graphite give rise to Luo's vision of sexuality, innocence and whimsy. Visions of nymphs in a myriad of suggestive contexts are divided into five distinct chapters, each acknowledging a different aspect of sensuality as expressed through food, frailty, fetish, fauna and fantasy.
