The Kentucky-based artist takes vintage porn magazines and rubs away at the gloss until only part of the original hardcore image remains. You can view the exhibit, which is lesbianically named, “Sometimes When We Touch,” until November 29th at the Invisible-Exports gallery in New York City. Here’s the artist’s statement:
…He softens the blunt sexuality of the found image, abstracting the depicted scene into a vision far more ephemeral and imaginative, invoking a more suggestive and expansive erotic landscape of blah de la blahdity blah blah blahblah blah BLAH BLAH.
Here’s some more info on the erased porn genre.

Uh, he does realized he can gain the same effects with any old Photoshop/PaintShopPhotoPro program, right? Stephen, get one of those and spare yourself hours of labor rubbing on 70’s porn. Besides, you can churn out thousands of them instead of just a few. Mass appeal, dude.
