Ok I'll be honest. I thought all that shyt was yours. Didn't see the little tags. But even still, it doesn't change what I said. It's beautiful work and it is explicit. Not sexually explicit though. I also don't find offensive, but the lady does so really that's what counts. But yeah, I don't understand why yours would be problematic but the others aren't.
That's the thing that pisses me off. She said that about me and then follows these artists I put in the OP on Instagram so the only thing I can think of is I have a dikk and balls and I'm straight. Cause wtf these are the poses the model was hitting in life drawing classes.

That's why I been working with a black male art dealer now. Figure he can finesse things a bit more better than cause he is married with kids.
But you gotta branch out.
You probably gotta hit the smaller spaces and bring prominence to them.
I'm not talkin' 'bout only workin' with folk. I'm talkin' 'bout trailblazin'.

You can't do what them other folks do.

We talked about this last time earlier this year u had the same issue.
That jbo ish dont work with everyone
But go head and post her name. People tend to straighten out when on that summer jam screen :manny:
I'm not gonna put her on blast cause I'm sure my name will be dragged through the mud and I don't want that. I'm just tryna see why my ART is discriminated against when other artists do worse visuals of nudity and sexually explicit things than me.

I do that, but it's hard because I have an artwork that has been permenently collected and on display continuously for the past 4 yrs.

The Truth
So what is your other variety of work that you spoke on?

Maybe next time fall back on slipping in so many nude/sexually directed ones, even if it is in “admiration”.

shyt will probably seem obsessive to some. Oversaturated, excessive, etc…

You gotta push through on these barriers even if that mean you gotta hustle an angle on your own.
But what you gotta do is stop talkin' 'bout why some shyt hard and you can't do it.
Lemme... lemme ask it like this: you want them people tellin' you your art don't fit in they institutions?
'Cause I'm a different type dude who will go out and do my stuff wherever I gotta to put my name up.

Start making miniatures of your art for portability:

And start slangin' like 15 - 20 pieces across the way in up north, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic.
Change your medium and go broader. Start usin' different techniques and styles in the smaller format.

Shyt, if I was still dedicated to becomin' an artist, I would have been doin' 8x10's framed in larger decorative details and laminate like 80 of them in a portfolio and take the book with me across the country slangin' to get my style out.

I had to drop out my writing program 'cause I wasn't feelin' them tellin' me they didn't understand my style. I understand my style. I know how to experiment with my style and learn how to improve my style. My style ain't academic, I thought the school was going to validate me. Validate yourself.

Wow, yeah that's bs. I like your pieces

Tschabalala Self's pieces are vulgar and weird
Real talk I love her art, but I went to the BMA with a woman who ain't an artist and it was Self's solo exhibit. The heterosexual Black Woman I was with verbally told me how uncomfortable she was.

Ol gal had statues bent over yoni fully exposed. And paintings of people fukking in mixed Media with fabric. All I could do was laugh cause Imma pervert so it ain't bother me, but the lady I was with was really disgusted and she ain't a prude at all.
