5.0 out of 5 stars Dream-like Erotica from an Amazing Artist!!!, Dec 16 2008

This review is from: Fruit of the Secret God (Hardcover)

Santerineross' photographs are reality-bending composites born from the synthesis of his creative energy and dream interpretations. They are dark, foreboding, and at first glance .. fear inducing. Yet he's not what one would call a fetish photographer, nor is he a pornographic image maker seeking to tantalize. His work is a fiendish alchemy of symbolism, archetype, and erotica that when wrought together gives rise to grander sense of itself. It's like how one can get lost in the medieval nightmare of a Hieronymus Bosch painting, or they can revel in its artistic splendor and genius. The same can be said of John Santerineross as he weaves the malcontent elements of his imagination into a provocative and beautiful union. This is a large-format book (32x24cm) that is a wholly beautiful a production.

5.0 out of 5 stars SANTINEROSS RUNS RAMPANT WITH ORIGINALITY, Sep 30 2001

By

justice howard (LAS VEGAS, NEVADA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fruit of the Secret God (Hardcover)

As an erotic photographer myself, I dont see too many of my peers whose work Id cross the street to see. Or whose work I would say even "moves me". But for Santineross Id run across the street. His haunting images that showcase femalians wrapped in gauze or naked and clothed merely with angels names written upon them, are really some of the the most original images Ive seen of late. You cant really put his art in a "slot" which is what makes people shy away from some artists and I think this is one of the things that will hurt Santineross in the long run as they will try and slot him in with Witkin. His stuff is really more erotic and more glamourously beautiful than Witkins imagery. Give this book a chance. Youll be happier for it.

I happen to have had the chance to visit with John int he studio where most of this was shot - and I must tell you that the sense of reality you see in his art is present in John's daily life.

The book is an amazing addition to your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars In praise of the author
When I first saw John's work displayed on a website I was overwhelmed by the visuals. The design of his sets, to the models he used, it looked aged to me, antique and quite... Read more
