"Simon's work skates the fine line between cutting and bleeding edge. Dark, sexy and dangerous, his art is like a trance you can't break."

MATT LOMBARD:
This is the beginning .Our savoir rises out of the dust of his ancestors to procreate with erotic malformed entities. His screams erase the pulsating signals of a thousand screens. This is a realm far too impure to call heaven and much too familiar to be known as hell.These are the visions of a savage new world . the world of Simon Subrosa.Yes, this is the beginning, the beginning of great things to come.

ART OF LOVE:The erotic mythology of Simon SubRosa In a way his flirtation with death, religion and sex is predictable, but his intelligent compositions and complex “image weaving”, do provide a challenging viewing experience. His personal mythology contains aspects of Christianity, Hinduism and Judaism, mainly focusing on the darker side of the spectrum, with some edgy “ritual sex” to make things even more disturbing.As I stated before, I usually hesitate to display religious themed erotic art, for obvious reasons I guess. But when an artist makes it personal, and is not just adding religion for the shock effect, or the easy gained depth, it should be shown on the Art of Love. We really try to cover the whole erotic arena, not just the easy and generally accepted part. Having that said, lets take a closer look at the work of this digital master, his work will probably raise an eyebrow here and there, but his visual virtuosity is amazing.His work can be divided in allegorical pieces, like the fist one in the gallery, where a Hindu God is honored by sex, holding up different religious artifacts. And the more subtle monochrome images, that are ranging from a love making couple to a male character who’s intimate with a Mannequin doll. But all of his images have that overall disturbing and dreamlike atmosphere, continuing the dark tradition of artists like H. R. Giger and John Santerineross.I enjoy his wicked and ironic mixture, although some religious references are a bit to confronting for me personally. But I guess that's telling more about my own cultural and religious background, it doesn’t say much about the artist’s intentions. I do think that Simon SubRosa is an artist worth showing, and I will continue to follow his artistic career. Somehow I have the feeling we are watching a big talent emerging here, all the way from Southern Africa.

GABRIEL CHAPMAN:Simon's work is incredible. His art challenges us on an emotional level. Dreamy, dark, thought provoking, haunting. I have never seen anything quite like it.

What can i say about Simons's work that won't be damning it with faint praise? I'll give it my best shot but when you take a look at the work..you'll know exactly what i mean. and why words aren't enough.Subrosa's work is Edgy, Timeless, evocative, painterly, and dream like. It's wild, skillful and like nothing else, anywhere.It's like..a new visual mythology. it, profoundly rocks.
