Each second, a funeral to our former selves. Celebrating our youth, ephemeral. Death's Spring-time.
The 3 part photo series that was revealed last night at the ART EROTICA show in Austin, Texas. The contribution my nymphs (yes, these are my actual friends) and I had made raised over $1,000 USD for emergency AIDS funds for the AIDS services of Austin.
For information on how to acquire my limited edition pieces, please contact my gallery: Envoy, NYC.
Friends, collectors, and Mikel enthusiasts: The newest edition of GRAFUCK is almost out, and within it, a small collection of my work.
GRAFUCK features the latest erotic work from a diverse group of established artists, and emerging international talents. Illustration, photography and fine art come together in an annual publication of intriguing, and provocative images and ideas.
The opening reception is on Saturday Aprill, 11, from 7pm, to 11pm, at Gallery Nucleus(just 15 mins outside of downtown LA).
Mikel Marton is among the newest faces in the field of male nude photography from behind and in front of the lens. With a stimulating blend of male eroticism and the gloss of editorial fashion photography he delivers a unique and dreamy style, testing that sensitive line that separates art and pornography: "Through my eyes (and body) I want to express the male body in a challenging, yet sensitive way, as well as give the viewer a unique opportunity to step inside a stylized version of my own sexual fantasies." My former website 'toxicboy.net' has been put to the grave.
Stay tuned for it's newest incarnation to be reborn.
Mikel is currently represented by the contemporary art gallery "Envoy" in New York City, but he currently resides in Montreal, Quebec. Between NYC and Montreal he alternates between fine and commercial art, mainly focusing on photography; but as well, all visual and design related aspects of his photo works, art direction, and various areas of erotic performance art.
Though his photo publications heavily focus on European Men's Art and Fashion Magazines, his work has been published in a variety of international magazines, art books, newspapers, galleries, museums, and private shows.
