Obsessions, War_Hol(e) Stamps*.

Limited edition collage work by Rico.

Original photo. Digital print with recycled materials.

Stamp # 1

The brown subject [sin nombre] sucking it all in. Information, questions, desire, knowledge, images, brands, fetishes, sex. Naked. Diving into a Warhol-inspired american dream.

Stamp # 2

A deeper understanding of himself. Wishing, dreaming, working, fucking, doing whatever it takes. Taking shit from others, letting it all go. Getting naked. Intimacy and belonging. The brown body makes himself at home.

Stamp # 3

(On display at The LeatherMan Store NYC)

Is your work erotic?

Rico: Well, eroticism depends a lot on perspective, so what may be erotic or kinky for you may be very different from mine, but I definitely think my work is sensual, sort of tantric, perhaps?

Stamp # 4

Tantric in what way?

Rico: It awakens different sensations. Clearly, I am interested in the body. The buttock is the most sensual part of the body and I believe it's the core of sexual stimulation, so desire so to speak--at least in my collage work--usually stems from that angle, from the ass. The more important question to ask is what is happening there, where the eye can't see?
