Poster Girl is a series of works by influential graphic artist Jasper Goodall, that explore themes of fetish and fantasy. Whilst the work itself can be seen as erotic art, it is equally about looking at the world of fetish and erotica with an appreciative yet critical eye. It is erotic art but it is also about erotic art – the images are a result of Goodall’s musings on erotica and sexual fetish.
The Poster Girl show can be seen at the Electric Blue Gallery, 64 Middlesex st, London E1 7EZ from Feb 7th – march 6th 2009
