Erotic Artist of the Year Awards Review

This Event Day was a busy and important date for The Guild at Beaumont Hall Studios as it saw the first of the JADE Erotic Artists Awards presented by Guild model Rebekka Raynor on behalf of the Editor of JADE magazine.

First the two worthy runners-up, photographer David Hare and artist Karen Middleton were invited to receive their framed certificates to loud applause from the audience of fellow members, visitors and guests. The winner of the 2009 award was then invited to the stage where photo artist Robert Babylon, dressed in black leather kilt, received his framed certificate and the specially commissioned white kneeling sculpture (created by Ken Clarke for JADE). Along with the very loud and continued applause as he was presented with the impressive and now much coveted award there were calls from the audience for a speech. Robert, in the finest tradition of award speeches, gave an emotional but genuine and heartfelt vote of thanks to his wife Caroline, who he said had supported him throughout his career and without whom he would not be where he was today. There was more applause as he left the stage a very proud and happy man, and a deserving winner of the first ever JADE Erotic Artist of the Year Award.

Erotic UV Images at ENLIGHTENMENT Exhibition

Here's news of an exhibition featuring my images that's closer to 'home' (for some of you at least)... in Milton Keynes. ENLIGHTENMENT is an exhibition of work and workshops by ’The Association of Erotic Artists’. This is your chance to see work by some of the world’s leading erotic artists.

Enlightenment erotic art exhibition

’The Association of Erotic Artists’ is set to embark upon an evangelical mission of ENLIGHTENMENT of which this exhibition is but a start. We seek to challenge society's bigoted and misguided opinions of the nature, relevance and standing of erotic art and make a stand against social, political and religious condemnation.

A range of my UV images will be on display both as limited edition fine-art prints and as projections.

Website updated

I've also updated my website recently with a whole load of new images in new style image galleries which are brighter and (hopefully) easier to use along with a news section.

Here's what Jade magazine had to say about my work:

"We can think of no more deserving recipient of this year's award than photo-artist Robert Babylon, whose work has developed and improved over the last few years and whose quality is always first class. His rich, artistic vision pushes at the boundaries of erotic art and explores the subject with a passion and skill which singles him out as a leader in the field, taking on new challenges and creating new works of art that set themselves apart from the mainstream. It is our hope that this award reflects the high regard in which this artist is held and that it will be just one of many he will receive throughout his career."

UV Art on Euston Tube Station

Just to let you know that my work has been accepted for exhibition on the London Underground. The exhibition has been organised through www.artbelow.org.uk who's aim is to "Turn Ad Space Into Art".

The first piece "3 UV Bottoms #1" will be put in place somewhere between 18th-22nd October and displayed for approximately two weeks at Euston Station -Northern Line Platform 6 Southbound [City Branch].

Underground Erotic Art

Truly Underground Erotic Art

Digital artist Robert Babylon’s erotic art has finally arrived on the main line under a scheme where art organisers www.artbelow.org.uk help artists display their work on international underground transport systems. Art Below, who have just completed an exhibition on the Tokyo Underground have awarded space to display the work of the fetish and erotic artist Robert Babylon on the London Underground.

Under a scheme which ‘turns ad space into art’ Robert Babylon’s acclaimed ‘3 UV Bottoms” has been turned into a 1.5m high poster for display alongside the more traditional commercial range of billboards.

The subterranean public display of Babylon’s work is somehow quite appropriate for this underground digital artist who’s work has, in the past, been more at home in venues like London’s Amora Academy in Piccadilly or the Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas.

Some who recall Babylon’s work being removed from the wall of a London gallery after fears that his images would upset certain religious groups or on another occasion being seized from the walls during a police raid might even consider this a brave move by Art Below. However Babylon’s work is more usually outrageously colourful than offensive and unusually for the usual perception of erotic work, is most popular amongst a female audience.

The chosen piece ‘3 UV Bottoms’ comes from a series of work entitled ‘The Fluoro Girls’ featuring the bottoms of three young women wearing UV reactive fishnet tights. The fishnet material glows in stunning contrast to the strange blue skin-tones created by the UV lighting under which the series was created.

The poster can be viewed in it’s intended location at London Underground’s Euston station from 22nd October for two weeks
