This official video for Deft ft. Om'Mas Keith's "Let's Hook Up" is a dark fashion short experiment in merging genres.

This sensual, slow-motion scene of high fashion actresses interacting in a mysterious hospital-like space is both creepy and sexy, and it's satisfying to watch for viewers of all artistic sensibilities. The video was also premiered on Vice / Noisey.   

These Women's Patent Ankle Strap shoes exhibited at the Northampton Museums & Art Gallery are smart and simple, with a blunted toe and a high thin covered heel. The ankle strap features a gilt buckle and a subtle nude female figure wearing her own pair of black shoes and a latex mask. Fabricated in 1978, these shoes are sure to make a statement. We sincerely hope that anyone planning to wear these out on the town will mirror the outfit that their little likeness does as she clings to the front of your foot.

Alicia Kuczman commands a room of rowdy police officers in this tour-de-force of an erotic video. Composed for Wolf Magazine, "Iron Maiden" addresses themes of punishment, bondage, sado-masochism and the ever-popular workplace fantasy of getting with one's boss. Clad in only a studded belt over her chest, Kuczman hypnotizes her fellow officers and proceeds over the course of the rather long video to dominate and be dominated. This video is definitely NSFW, but get into it when you've got the chance for an intense erotic/artistic experience!

Chuck Close is well known for his monumental portraits rendered with exquisite, exacting realism from photographic sources. He's become famous for his rigorous, gridded application of individual color squares, creating highly realistic images from afar. This piece is called "Untitled Torso Diptych," an uncharacteristic medium for Close. Taken in 2012, this is a Woodburytype, one out of an edition of ten. Close captures the stunning image of a nude body, rendered in a distressed, desaturated composition. Though not his normal style, Close demonstrates his love of beauty and skilled hand with this piece.
