Michelle Mildenhall: Deviant Latex Art<\/strong><\/span>\"\"
\nWe just adore these provocative but super fun, latex artworks by UK artist Michelle Mildenhall. She delves into themes of sexuality, fetishism and subversion using her unique rubbery pop-art style. Frequently using iconic images of famous figures, who remain easily recognisable despite the highly-stylized quality of her work; and juxtaposing them into fetishistic settings, often with a large tongue in her cheek. (Hence Vlad as a glamorous ‘Queen’.)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not apparent from these reproductions of her work, shown in this blog \u2013 but these artworks are meticulous constructed from sheet latex, they have a rubberised textured 3D quality, even the \u2018canvas\u2019 is actually latex.<\/p>\n

Michelle is a rubber lover, \u201cI love the smell, feel and look of latex. It excites me,\u201d says Michelle. \u201cWhenever I slip into it I feel sexy; it gives me a feeling of empowerment. Which I feel is something the characters in my work share \u2014 even the gagged and bound ones!\u201d<\/p>\n

It was while making a latex outfit for herself she hit on the idea of using latex as a medium for her art. \u201cVisually it\u2019s such a beautiful material it really deserves to be looked at and admired.\u201d<\/p>\n
