This new collection explores shifting perspectives of beauty, attraction, lust and decency presented through alluring and decandent images of the female figure. Watercolor, ink and graphite give rise to Luo's vision of sexuality , innocence and whimsy. Visions of nymphs in a myriad of suggestive contexts are divided into five distinct chapters, each acknowledging a different aspect of sensuality as expressed through food frailty, fetish, fauna and fantasy. Erotic and always tasteful, Danni Shinya Luo's art is whimsically feminine; her watercolor paintings are meditations on the female figure. The colors are fresh and luscious, her line work fluid and organic, and her composition engaging and impactful.
Danni Shinya Luo is originally from Shanghai, China. She moved to California in 1995 where she fell in love with art in grade school.
