FEATURED ARTIST>> Michelle Mildenhall

Michelle Mildenhall is an artist who creates unique, striking portraits in latex. Through her stylized imagery, Michelle seduces the viewer into a world of disconcerting beauty and mystique. By using popular but somewhat taboo themes of sexuality, fetishism and subversion, she creates work in which a fascination with the subject evolves.

Her latex art works are visually arresting and radiate an underlying element of sexual association, not just from the imagery, but also because of the connotations of the medium in which she creates her art. Each piece becomes defined and fetishized via its latex conceptualization. When worn latex compliments and reveals the female figure where as Michelle’s work, often depicting females, revealing them in less obvious ways to provoke a more evolved idea of sexuality.

The current series of portraits is a culmination of her exploration of the medium.
