Soft Candy

A collection of new drawings, paintings and illustrations from Shanghai-born Danni Shinya Luo, who has emerged as one of the most important female voices in contemporary symbolic art. This new collection explores shifting perspectives of beauty, attraction, lust and decency presented through alluring and decadent images of the female figure. Watercolor, ink and graphite give rise to Luoís vision of sexuality, innocence and whimsy. Visions of nymphs in a myriad of suggestive contexts are divided into five distinct chapters, each acknowledging a different aspect of sensuality as expressed through food, frailty, fetish, fauna and fantasy. Erotic and always tasteful, Danni Shinya Luoís art is whimsically feminine; her watercolor paintings are meditations on the female figure. The colors are fresh and luscious, her line work fluid and organic, and her composition engaging and impactful. Foreword by Billy Shire.
