Colin Christian makes larger-than-life sculptures of space-girls, aliens, and femme fatale creatures, in a style I dub cyber retro-erotic which takes influence from many different subcultures. Statuesque and cast in fiberglass and silicone, these cartoonishly exaggerated, indomitably perfect figures with piercing, gigantic, pellucid eyes, featuring campy titles such as Adventures on Planet Freud and The Callgirl of Cthulhu, are a sort of oddball mixture of his diverse inspirations, including “old sci-fi movies, pinup girls/supermodels, anime,” and “H. P. Lovecraft.” I find some of his work to be not to my taste, bordering on obscene or downright creepy (not to say disturbing), but these pieces below I do like. Also check out Sas’ art in the previous post.

Viveros‘s work features tough, defiant dames with a cigarette eternally jutting from the corner of their lips in a rich, realistically rendered atmosphere of dark sensuality, abuse, and tainted innocence. Cuts, bandages, neck braces, helmets, and red roses abound. These girls are injured, but brazen and brave and graceful in the face of their injury, and ready for battle in their Mickey Mouse-ear helmets, though they seem to serenely disdain it. Sort of a twist on the classic pinup.
