Tina Lugo

Lugo's vividly colored figure paintings on glass evoke the Ero Guro Nansensu movement, a raucous and irreverent Japanese subculture whose name is a concatenation of the English words erotic, grotesque, and nonsense. The movement flays and flouts conventions of eroticism, sexual corruption, and decadence ‐ all themes salient in Lugo's work. The viewer is drawn into Lugo's intricate works by their alluring colors and suggestive forms and encouraged to revel in the depictions of bombastic kink, unfettered by taboo.
