Keith Lafuente, a painter based in New York, specializes in nude paintings that play with the power dynamics of clothing and nudity. His works incorporate elements of sexual fantasy, examining fetishes such as CMNM and ENM through humorous commentaries. Using techniques from Photoshop collages, he creates vibrant paintings that blend influences from Filipino culture, vaporwave aesthetics, and absurdist stylings. His art invites viewers to engage with themes of sexuality and humor, prompting a complex emotional response while pushing the boundaries of traditional art.
I'm very into how clothing - or lack thereof - can bend, twist, or upend conventional power dynamics.
My newest works are Photoshop collages translated into paintings: starting with a wash of pink or green, then building shadows up in thin, translucent layers.
