| Description |
Gawker Artists presents NSFW (Not Safe For Work), a group show of works by Gawker Artists Steve Ellis, Emiliano Granado, Justine Lai, Heather Morgan and Randy Polumbo, and the latest exhibition in the Art@Gawker series.
Featuring sexually suggestive works typically considered off limits for the workplace, NSFW showcases Gawker Artists' playful irreverence and ongoing exploration of the boundaries and roles of corporate art programs.
Steve Ellis’ Amanda Lepore Stripping Pen is inspired by Lepore’s own story of transsexual transformation. Ellis’ iconic painting celebrates both a common object and the reinvention of sexual identity. In Ellis’ own words, “This portrait on the surface looks like a curvy porn star, but instead the model is a sculpted sexual being and work of art unto herself.”
