Is this Art or ' PORN' - You decide...

Our Featured artist onsite at present is, shall we say a little unusual in her approach to Art and the creation of same.

Her traditional critics in Greece say that...'She should not be showcasing her work anywhere as it is filth and an offence to term Art'.
Some others say...MyRa's work is astounding and is a true breath of fresh air to the Art world in Greece and indeed globally.

MyRa's New Style of Art LYRrealism is a fusion of a Lyrical approach to life, combined with a new way of treating the mastery of realism.

As her work primarily concentrates on the Male & Female nude forms, it has obviously provoked a somewhat 'Old fashioned' view point from some Church Leaders and certain single minded individuals around the world.

All this controversy over whether it is 'Art or Porn' and whether or not her work should be banned has lifted the lid on the modern day viewpoint of 'Our Rights' and censorship not just in the media but in general.

We invite you to view the artwork of Karin MyRa Heckel atwww.artworkxofmann.com and judge for yourself whether you believe her work...Is Art or 'PORN' - You decide...

Roberto saying...BLOG out!

Having tried extremely hard to masturbate to it, and failing, I decree it to be 'Art'.

You're welcome.

oh come on-only 3 of them had naked women on them (in the international bit at least)-they weren't doing anything pornographic---who exactly got so offended by these-has she been trying to stick them up in churches or something?

There will always be those who consider the portrayal of a nipple as porn. I thinks it's best to disregard such unenlightened opinions. I think your paintings are beautiful.

Sex is always such a sensitive subject... yet it is the essence of life. Sexuality is a perfectly valid subject to express in art and it is one that can be expressed so beautifully!

If I were to make a distinction between art and porn (and I don't really think I am qualified to do that) I would say that porn exploits people. Art never exploits... although it sometimes challenges. And so it should.
