John
Kacere spent the last thirty years of his life painting the only thing
that interested him: the mid-section of the female body.
The kitsch paintings make for pleasurable viewing, not
least for the sexually-charged subject matter. John’s incredibly tuned
hyperreal style lends itself to the flawless skin of the idealised
Caucasian bodies he paints as well as it does to the slippery silk and
satin folds of lingerie and bedsheets.
As the curve of each woman’s hips builds a terrain across
each canvas, the scantily-clad female form becomes a landscape of sexual
possibility.
