Technique & medium: Acrylic on canvas.

What are the thoughts behind this exhibition?
Heaven Lust is a sequel to my previous exhibition, which explored female forms and bodies. Our society has a strong stigma when it comes to nudity, and I’d like to show that bodies are the best vehicle for expression and that no one should be ashamed of them. I want to confront people with the naked truth—literally.

Why is it called Conceal?
This piece is actually the least revealing painting of them all, and as you can see the subject is slightly ashamed of being exposed. It ties in with the exhibition as a whole.

How is this exhibition different from Crocodile’s Fiancée?
All the paintings in this exhibition are stripped of their locations. The background is a series of abstract dots. They’re not meant to be decorative items, but rather to relate the subject with its surrounding space. However, some people might see them as stars.

What’s your intended message?
To change the popular notion that nudity is a sin and something which needs to be concealed.
