Corset art hangs on web walls
July 23, 2007 
Many corsets are featured in a new online art gallery, which showcases erotic artwork.
ObsessionArt.com is the world's first specialist online gallery of "high quality nude, figurative and erotic art", according to the press release, and features both prints and photos. It also has a special section dedicated to corsetry.
The corsetry section displays works such as Saturno Butto's Fetishtizitriptych; a series of three paintings showing a woman from behind, with her head draped in a red cloth. In the first of the paintings she is wearing a black corset, while in the second the stays appear to be laced into her very skin, as the body of the corset is not there. The final picture shows the corset back again in a mirror image of the first picture.
Mike Payton's black-and-white photo, Andora, is also shown, which depicts a smoking woman wearing a leather corset which laces in front and matching fingerless gloves.
Gernot's surreal paintings also feature, with cartoon women in corsets and other erotic costume.
ObsessionArt's managing director, Mark Davis, said: "While a few of the artists we feature already had a moderate web presence, we found hunting the net for high quality art in this genre was a long, disheartening process. We've developed an opportunity to bring some really very talented artists to a wider audience."
