No taboo is left unexplored as The Gallery Liverpool launches its first ever exhibition of erotic art. From Bondage sculpture by Sexcetera’s Len Gifford to vaginal art (!), when Michelangelo said that "In art immorality cannot exist", he hadn’t seen this work!
The Gallery occupies the entire upper floor of the industrial premises of John O'Keeffe and Son Ltd, well known local signmakers and engravers in the heart of Liverpool's Independent Cultural District. Featuring entertainment from Liverpool’s first male pole dancer (as well as a more traditional female – we aim to cater for all tastes!), and live art performances. Boundaries WILL be crossed and – if you dare much of the work in the show is for sale. The Gallery Liverpool is proud to be working together with IOISIS Pole Dancers & The Association of Erotic Artists. Featuring work from the acclaimed “ photographer to the stars” John Stoddart

3rd November 2009 Robert Babylon - 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. Exhibition News The ARTundressed American tour featuring my work continues at the California Modern Art Gallery www.calmodern.com in San Francisco from 19th-21st November.
10th September 2009 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. ’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.
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.

13th December 2008 Article in Ukrainian Art Collectors' Magazine An article about me has been published in a Ukrainian art collectors' magazine called Graal Collection (Volume 2) which is published in Russian and English.
4th December 2008 The Guild of Erotic Artist's Book Vol2 I am pleased to announce the publication of "The Guild of Erotic Artist's Book Vol 2" featuring six pages of my work along with the work of 31 of The Guild's artists, photographers and sculptors and the background behind their skills.
18th October 2008 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". 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
3rd October 2008 Permanent Exhibition in Las Vegas My work is being permanently exhibited at the Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas. The museum is artistic and sexy but in particular is about educating people to the erotic arts. The work includes the Alice collage below as well as a selection of my UV work.
