FINE ART NUDES Jaroslaw Kukowski This month has 5 Fridays, so we get to bring you a bonus edition of FINE ART NUDES. From now on, each month we have an extra Friday we will feature a contemporary nude artists and their works. Hopefully, we will be able to introduce you to a few that you have never heard of that we find interesting. This week we bring you the fantastic works of Jaroslaw Kukowski. Jaroslaw Kukowski (born on 11 April 1972 in Tczew) Polish contemporary painter dealing with moral and social issues in a controversial manner. His works were displayed in The Department of The National Museum ”Królikarnia”, Salons of the Auction House Rempex, "Gallery BP", Gallery "Tamka", "Gallery SD", "Gallery Bellotto"- in Warsaw; Museum of Galicja, Bunker of Art, Gallery "Turlej Fundation"- in Krakow; Voergaard Castle, Gallery Herning, Gallery Kolding - in Denmark; Art Expo in New York, and many other galleries and museums. The majority of Kukowski’s paintings were catalogued in the albums published by the auction houses, galleries and publishing houses. In the early stage of his artistic career the climate of his works, regarded as symbolic ones, is filled with drama and sadness. Full of pain, deformed human figures along with mystic creatures are depicted against the background of surrealistic landscapes. This series of works was defined as Udreams by its author. During another period Kukowski definitely enlightened his palette; the artist became interested in nudes, nevertheless even here a viewer can perceive the brand of disintegration and passing time. These works were painted in a form of frescos being destroyed by time and revealing other pictures looking as if they had been painted behind them. In another stage of his artistic career, Kukowski moved back to his early works, but despite fairer coloring, his works were becoming more and more ironic and provocative. In 2001 some of Kukowski's works were removed from the exhibition in The Gallery SD due to resentment of the audience. The most important series of his works are: Undreams, Dreams and Frescos. Kukowski also created animations presenting the artistic process of his painting. The work presented refers to the process of creation but it can be noticed that during the painting process emotions and impressions go beyond the artist's initial vision and such painting could have a number of titles. Kukowski is a master of drawing, he works in a classical way, he paints by scumble. He does it very skillfully. There are symbolic elements in his work, which can trigger contradictory reactions of the audience.

Every Thursday will be DEVIANT ON DEMAND and filled with galleries of the most popular search item of the week. After128 search queries over the past week, the number 1 search item was MAIDS French maid ensembles are an occasional subject of sexual fetishism. They are a form of ladies' fantasywear that, depending on design details, can be classified as lingerie. They enjoy a wide popularity and are available from many sources. Commonly included in the costume is a push-up bra to enhance the female bust to fit the stereotype which has come to follow with the typical French maid. The name derives from their being worn by stereotypical characters in risqué burlesque dramas of the bedroom farce variety. The ensemble is a stylized version of the typical maid's black and white afternoon uniform of the nineteenth century. A wide variety of costumes are manufactured and marketed under the "French maid" description today. These range from comparatively modest dresses extending well down the thigh or above the knees to transparent chiffon nightgowns or outright lingerie ensembles that cover almost nothing. The classic French maid costume, however, is a short and clingy dress - ideally silk satin, or closely resembling it - trimmed with shirred white lace. Typically, they include a tiny white apron attached to the dress; sometimes, the apron is even shaped like a heart, with white lace fringes on the hems and revealing neckline. The skirt area of the dress is usually pleated. If knickers are worn with it, they are usually white and ruffled, and the dress is sometimes short enough to display them, especially when the woman bends over. Common accessories include a frill worn in the hair, or a tiara, a feather duster, and sometimes white lace cuffs and collar. If the dress has sleeves, they are usually short and puffed shoulder puffs. A corset or a layered white petticoat may be worn under the dress. The ensemble is almost always completed with black fishnet stockings and black high heels. The costumes are sometimes worn to costume parties. They are also sometimes worn as part of a BDSM sexual roleplay by submissive women or men, either on brief occasions, or as a routine form of servitude to the dominant partner.
