Brian M Viveros

Celebrated Surrealist fetish/mutilation artist Brian M. Viveros is now utilizing the medium of film to capture the dark and evocative debris that radiates from his mind. Brian is internationally embraced for his erotic paintings and illustrations.Brian’s recognition accelerated with his participation in The Art of Porn exhibition held in Switzerland (1997), where he exhibited with H.R. Giger, thanks to a friend and art advisor Les Barany (Giger's agent). Since then, Brian’s work has been in numerous gallery shows and exhibitions in the United States and Europe, and has appeared in Secret Magazine, In the Flesh, Skin Two, Drawing Blood, Darks Art, and the short story, "The Magdalena" in Fetish Magazine.Brian was a finalist of the 2004 Erotic Awards as the Artist of the Year, U.K."…Brian’s trip to Switzerland can only be described in three words: ‘Veni, vidi, vinci.’ People here are crazy about his work and can’t wait for him to return and bedazzle them again!"-Museum of Porn in Art, Zürich, Switzerland"Wicked Art."-Clive Barker, writer and filmmaker"Mysterious sexy women, with their remarkable sensual eyes, and a cigarette in the corner of their mouths, became his trademark. These characters play their lustful roles, sprouted from the brain of the American artist Brian Viveros. His art is a unique mixture of different visual and artistic concepts, surrealism, role playing and some quite heavy pain fantasies. Like the ones where the women are hooked, tortured and bound, but somehow, even in these morbid scenes, he is capable of maintaining a decent dose of humor."-Art of Love"The erotic artwork of Brian M. Viveros is a satisfying cross between the Varga Girls and the surrealist renderings of Hans Bellmer. At once playful, hypersexual and erotic, there is also something darkly engaging in Viveros’s images. While he’ll play up the demon aspects of the Femme Fatale, or the depravity lurking just beneath the surface of the innocent girl, he does so with a sense of awe – as if honoring what’s ‘dangerous’ in the erotic female form, not fearing it or degrading it."-Marilyn Jaye Lewis, editor THe Mammoth Book of Erotic Photography; Erotic Writer of the Year, 2001"I don't know why I am attracted to his paintings of tattooed, beaten women, but they have such a defiant look, with their Louise Brooks/Pandora’s Box black ‘helmet hair’ and cig dangling from their mouths, one eye swollen shut. It is to so erotic and powerful, about us women who get beaten up every day…"-Jenny Lens, punk photographer/archivist - she shot Darby Crash!"…hauntingly memorable and erotically arousing work."-Francis Lora, contributing writer to Urban Latino Magazine and the Mnahattan Times
