Rapp - Soaking
This is one of two
pictures I have attributed to Rapp, the other is group of 3 posed
leather guys not dissimilar in style to the previous RAM posting, but
this one is much more interesting in both subject matter and
technical style.
I'm not terribly enamoured of the master-slave
relationship model but I do get off on collars and as a straightforward domination/humiliation
image this picture certainly gets my vote. I particularly like the
depiction of the cute young 'slave' and the clothing details. The pointillist technique is impressive (check out the splashing beer
and wet hair of the 'slave') and the tricky low viewpoint investing
the bearded top with a bit of extra dominance is carried off pretty
well. I'm guessing the large area of blank space which somewhat
unbalances the composition is intended to accommodate text on a
magazine page (Drummer?).
Clearly an accomplished artist and I wish I
had more of his pictures if they are like this!
I
don't have a website for Rapp - info from readers welcome!
