Peep Show, Tom Gallant Explores The Fetishistic Nature Of The Gaze

August 16, 2011 |  by  |  Art & Culture

This is ain’t even about the sex. That’s just the first thing you notice. It’s more about fetish and our society’s obsession with knowing everything about everything. Male gaze, female gaze, we all look, even the most prude of us stare. Tom Gallant takes from low-brow source material, vintage pornography and turns those into intricate cutouts. He’s as skilled with precision as a surgeon.

Tom’s work is intriguing. Here you have the porn queens of Hustler and Playboy doing a very natural act, that has been co-modified for profit. And Tom turns this notion on it’s ass, no pun intended. Tom’s new porn queens are reborn, amongst blossoming flowers and nature. We know you want to look. So take a closer look at Tom’s work below.
