TENDERNESS BY AARON MOTH

TENDERNESS by AARON MOTH

£25.00

Aaron Moth explains that 'the sexual act is one of the most beautiful experiences that connects two people', the sensual cohesion of tenderness perfectly translates this apparently simple idea. The gentleness in this body of work contrasts with the rawness of the source of the material: vintage adult photography and discarded book covers left in the streets of Berlin. The very nature of those fragments of staged intimacy reflect the lovelife taboos still encountered by an increasingly vocal community from the 1960s to 1980s.

Aaron’s fascination for American photography from the 1960s and 1970s led him to collect vintage magazines. The curated images cut from those discoveries dictate the small format of his art. His works can be found in private collections, among others, in Great Britain, Spain, Germany, Poland, Brazil and the United States.
