Sven - Chained Prisoner
Sven of Rennes, as he styles himself, is known for his
cute, comic book characters and normally wouldn't qualify as a fetish
artist but I didn't want to leave out these samples of more raunchy
stuff. The first example of a dungeon captive is quite well known and
despite the cartoony style and token representation of the bondage is
nevertheless rather effective. The prominent feet detail will have
it's fans, but for me it's the face that makes the picture, square
jawed and handsome he looks as though he belongs in a cruisy club
rather than a serious dungeon. The lightly stubbled jaw and slightly
desperate look creates a sense that, however he came to be here, he's
out of his depth now.
Sven - Saint Sebastian
St Sebastian is a classic fetish subject, but this isn't
the best. It's a pretty enough picture but Sven has pulled back from
showing the arrow piercing flesh. This man is also far too young for
the part, the original was an officer in the army, but the detail of
authentic looking kit, taken from him and placed on one side is quite
sexy.
Sven - Ritual
My final entry is the best of the lot, a strikingly
handsome young man, with hands tied in front, kneels on a table
surrounded by a phalanx of masked men in identical costumes. The
eerie, threatening atmosphere is augmented by the candles whose
purpose is unclear. The captive's body is depicted in soft focus and
sumptuous tones that somehow seem to accentuate his nudity – a rare
achievement.
