Pantone Modern Nudes

You know, the mind is like a camera obscura that, for each input, creates images, evokes memories, often in different forms and colours, distorted by our mood. If you read a book or listen to a story, it can create real mental movies, in which the only protagonist is your wild and unlimited imagination.

Similarly, visionary artist Nick Smith has put on a series of works inspired by the tales of the erotic literature of the past: as if they were modern mosaics, these images, instead of tiles, present Pantone boxes with their respective codes, for every nuance and angle of the body.

Paramour is Nick Smith's artistic project, who tells stories of illicit love through evocative images and can be visited at the Lawrence Alkin Gallery, London.
