Mature Content

One in a series of intimate and psychological nude portraits.

[DISCLAIMER: A lot of people have commented on how the model is "masturbating" in this painting. Stop for one moment and question why it is that a hand placed near or on the crotch area automatically denotes masturbation. In actuality the model was covering herself up because she did not wish to flash her vagina to the entire world. It was an act of modesty. Quite the opposite from the fantasy many people have created on their own. Ever hear the phrase "A picture is worth a thousand words?" There is always more to an image than what is seemingly going on at first glance. My work is squarely footed in this idea. If any of my images offends or seems to break any of your social or moral values you can either choose to move on or take a moment to think and understand what is really going on both in my work and in your head.]

UPDATE: A Note on Medium
- The painting is watercolor and gouache on Arches 260 lbs. cold-press watercolor paper.
- The painting is entirely rendered in watercolor with the gouache being used for the graffiti on the left side wall and small details on the window just above the girl.
- It measures 40 x 26 inches.
- I did not use any type masking or frisket for the painting.

Amidst the colourful and remarkably illustrated nest of chaos, there lies a labyrinth of information, each item revealing a story and lending further richness to this cozy and very personal domain... while a peaceful disposition rests at the heart of it all. Untitled - Marley is one of ~cobotenuss's latest and greatest. Please enjoy. (Suggested by =ArtisnotanAccident, `oilsoaked and *alicexz) ( Featured by `snowmask )

devilish cool! Watercolor...just fantastic!

~cobotenuss Apr 22, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

Why, thank you kindly!

~clvire Mar 10, 2013 Hobbyist

I absolutely love your caption lol! I'm glad I stumbled onto your work its so interesting! I wish I could enter your mind, what was the inspiration for this piece? did you design this set by the way? and I really dont understand how you achieved this with watercolor, wonderful!

~cobotenuss Mar 21, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

Oh thank you for the kind comment! I did not design any of the settings for this body of work (This House of Glass). I interviewed people who volunteered to be my models and then painted them in their homes. This is what her room looked like at that time (she has since moved). As far as my motivation - I'm interested in knowing what makes people tick. I like getting into people's psyche and translating my experiences for others to see, empathize with and learn from.

~clvire Mar 22, 2013 Hobbyist

painting someone in their home is such an intimate thing, thats such an interesting concept, I've definately learnt from this piece thanks for posting it

~cobotenuss Mar 29, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

My pleasure! I'm glad it could be a source of learning as well as inspiration. Please stay in touch.

pitch-perfect.

~cobotenuss Mar 3, 2013 Professional Traditional Artist

Thank you, sir.

I think your comment that she's not masturbating speaks just as many volumes as this image does, though for different reasons...
