Fruit of the Secret God, The Dark Erotic Images of John Santerineross

Friday, June 8, 2001-August 3, 2001

April 25, 2001:  Think Kink...Shameless Productions and FRICTION Gallery present a new show of dark erotic imagery by renowned New York artist, John Santerineross, from June 8. 2001 through August 3, 1001, with an opening reception on Friday, June 8 from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.

Friction Gallery offers a unique and desirable setting to view original and never-before-seen work of the world's most talented fetish and erotic artists. To receive an exclusive invitation to Fruit of the Secret God opening reception, contact Shameless Productions.

This show is the first for Santerineross and will feature never-before-released work along with images from his solo photographic book," Fruit of the Secret God" by Attis Publishing. Each image is in a limited edition series and continues to maintain a substantial following in the United States and throughout Europe. Since 1994, his work has appeared in a number of publications, including, "Secret Magazine", "Prometheus"," Elergy Magazine"," Mistress Mine", "Le Fer Rouge", "Fetish Magazine", and "Blue Magazine". Santerineross has also designed several music CD covers and has published books such as, "Secret Fetish Photo Anthology" and "Extreme". Santerineross is the magician and his images are incantations. His art highlights human vulnerability and vitality in setting of rich iconography combined with tantalizing nudes. We see nymphs subjected to archetypal splendor and confinement. His work deviates from fetish as typically defined by the BDSM community. His images embody a deeper definition of fetish, the use of objects for religious rites or enchantment.

Shameless Productions is openly dedicated to illuminating the deep, mysterious shadows surrounding sexuality, sensuality, and of course, shamelessness. We represent local, national, and international artists whose work embodies the cutting edge of eroticism and experimentation. Not to be a prisoner of paradigm, Shameless Productions promotes experimentation in the visual and performing arts, written and spoken work, and all personal expression.

Invitations are required for all art openings and a guest list is maintained at the door.
