Erotic artist Irvin Bomb on Wednesday will premiere “Nasty Art: Model Search,” a new show on the Events In Demand pay-per-view channel that features four adult film stars.
In “Nasty Art: Model Search,” Bomb paints portraits of two sizzling duos, Vivid Girl Monique Alexander and Penny Flame, and Penthouse Pet Jassie and Jezebelle Bond. He painted one clothed portrait and one nude of each couple.
“I deliberately go out of my way to work with girls in the adult industry,” Bomb said. “I’d rather spend the money for girls that are into it.”
Bomb’s “Nasty Art” shows have been airing on the Hot Choice In Demand channel for the past five years, but the change will increase the potential viewers from 12 million to 28 million homes.
He said the girls “seemed to have a rapport with each other.”
“I always ask Derek {Hay} at LA Direct to put his input in. I always ask prior to the shoot starting so that I’m working with girls who have a relationship with each other,” Bomb said. “They have a history together I think their relationship adds to the painting. They’re not stiff. The girls were comfortable.
“It’s a documentation in the form of a rendered piece of art of the girls in this place in time of their lives. … My own subjective impulses come into it. It’s a collaborative project. I don’t pose the girls.”
The video shows different stages of the paintings using split screens and close-ups. Bomb says it takes about 200 hours to do one painting. In his past shows, he was required to have the girls undressed within 30 seconds. Now he has eight minutes to show some of their personalities before the clothes come off.
“We changed the structure of the show. The producers wanted more dialogue with stars talking about their lives. Normally I never did clothed portraits,” he said, noting that Alexander and Flame wore fetish attire with a French maid theme. “It has a fun sort of heavy metal look to it.”
The premise of “Nasty Art: Model Search” is that Bomb is propositioning girls on the streets of New York about posing for nude portraits.
“My goal is to make it look believable,” he said. “In reality, it’s very difficult to approach a girl like that."
"Nasty Art" is an ongoing series with a new show airing every other month. The June show is called “Nasty Art: Slumber Party.”
Bomb has published a non-explicit book of nude portraits of porn stars called “The Art of Irvin Bomb” (2001, NBM Publishing), which is available in Virgin Megastores and Borders.
