We’ve been a little quieter lately because we are deep in the process of reviewing submissions for 12 Inches of Sin IX and WOW — the work is incredible. At the same time, we’re putting the final touches on the 12 Inches of Sin XIII art paperback catalog, soon to be available on Amazon. There is just so much extraordinary art coming in from around the globe, and we have never been more in awe of the talent, imagination, and vision of these artists. It is truly a privilege to curate such stellar work. #sincitygallery #12inchesofsin #lesalondesrefusésdupéché #modernprovocateur #lasvegas


A body suspended between dimensions. Bathed in el
A body suspended between dimensions. Bathed in electric green, the figure dissolves into something otherworldly—part organism, part signal, part apparition. Elongated nails become antennae, jewelry reads as armor, and the body itself transforms into terrain. This is not portraiture as documentation. This is portraiture as transmission. There is a tension here between seduction and mutation. The gaze is interrupted. The form is fragmented. What begins as the familiar quickly shifts into something alien, untouchable, and fully self-possessed. Space is not empty. It is charged. And here, the body becomes its epicenter.

DESIRE, DISCIPLINE, AND THE THEATER OF POWER—MAKE
DESIRE, DISCIPLINE, AND THE THEATER OF POWER—MAKE AMERICA KINKY AGAIN (MAKA) TRIPTYCH, DIGITAL ILLUSTRATION THE BODY AS A PORTAL Per @michellemildenhall_artist - "I'm super proud to be selected to be part of LE SALON DES REFUSES PECHE EXHIBITION this year curated by @sincitygallery here's a brilliant write up of my new MAKA prints." Michelle Mildenhall’s Make America Kinky Again (MAKA) unfolds as something initially playful—sleek black silhouettes posed in latex against the graphic immediacy of the American flag. The figures strike dominant stances that oscillate between pin-up, superhero, and dominatrix. But beneath this visual seduction lies a precise dismantling of power, nationalism, and erotic performance. What first reads as flirtation quickly reveals itself as critique. Seduction becomes strategy. Style becomes language. Here, kink is not a provocation. It is a syntax of authority. Michelle Mildenhall, a UK-based artist known for utilizing latex as both subject and visual language, as well as for her sharp visual economy and satirical fluency, constructs each composition with disciplined restraint: flat color fields, surgical contrast, and the assertive geometry of the flag itself. These are not atmospheric spaces. They are theatrical stages. The body does not dissolve into background. It stands against ideology, framed by it. We love this triptych.
