Sensual Art

Hans Frontosa talks about the sensual art of Jaeda De Walt and the impact her art has upon him. Learn about how sensual art can promote a sense of visual silence and spirituality within the art piece it self.

Sensual and Spiritual Erotic Art

The first work I encountered of Jaeda De Walt was one of her self-portraits with mannequin figures. The plastic look of the figures is softened by the usage of light and shades of grey. In this black & white photo the human body is almost equal to the mannequins surrounding it. It’s the same with the pose of Jaeda, it makes the human and plastic body’s blend together as a group of equals.

The main defference is the anonymity of the mannequins and the individuality of the central character. You could say that she reveals her individuality this way. Does she express her sexuality as a female her as well? In a way there is a sexual aspect in this picture. The nakedness, the sensual lines of the body’s against each other , even if most of them are not for real. But on the opposite there is the non-interaction and the static poses. This duality makes this image intriguing to me.

What I also experience in her work is what’s best to describe a visual silence. It is one of the things that gives the work of Jaeda DeWalt the serene intrinsic beauty. The images in this gallery are almost all self-portraits of the artist. She describes it as a way of seeking answears to who she is and what she will become, a personal journey we can witness.

The artist statement :

The body is perhaps the most beautiful canvas of expression. The camera can provide a location of where we’re at on this road map of life. Nudity in it self is not sexual, but rather, it is sensual. I feel sensuality is state of mind that walks hand in hand with spirituality. In my photography I seek to express the sensual and spiritual in all of its magnificent colors,textures and feelings,as wll as exposing the darkness that lingers within us all.
