RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK -- Collecting Niccolo Cosme

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS

Does beauty get your attention? Week three of our collection spotlights is the conceptual photography of Niccolo Cosme (b. 1980, Philippines). He blends erotic imagery with Christian iconography to catch our attention. Cosme dares to offend even while arousing the desire to lead a healthier (and sexier) life. We purchased his "The Matriarch" above in 2012, and we invite you to visit the artist's website here. Beauty gets our attention, and that makes Niccolo Cosme's art, our tip of the week.
