I Love The Pagan Sexuality

I found this artist, Marie Ducaté, at Slip's art & design blog, and while I wish the photos were larger (and not embeded in flash), I loved them & had to share.

If I could, I'd have these everywhere in my home, so my eyes could wander & play for hours on end -- then wake up, and do it all again...












From the artist's website:

Eros is our guide to travel through the tender map which marie ducaté weaves. Her tempera highlighted pendrawings and her delicate watercolors resume erotic boudoir-talkings.

With lightness and often humour Marie Ducaté's characters move in the middle of a luxurious nature primary and of paradise. Those sensesgardens where people vegetals and animals seem unified in a same joyful impulse have the fawncolors from an Art issued of a primary impulse.

The curved movements, the curved clouds where naked bodies play and rest seem repeat continuously the sensual gesture and the soft caress of a flappingwings.

"The landscape hasn't a realistic function, but a unifying function of the things.", says Marie Ducaté to us. And this is a fact that for her, nature takes a kind of variety as a heavengarden. Fruits, flowers, vegetables, emerge in bunches with appetizing curves.
