Some works by artist Philippe Meste-
Ken-Ichi Murata
Born in 1957 in the city of Osaka, Japan, photographer Ken-Ichi Murata still lives and works there.His art is a sensational new discovery.
The pretty Japanese girls in his hand-colored black-and-white photographs transport us into the erotic fantasy worlds of a Japanese artist who is inspired by thousand-year-old traditions and sexual rites.
Murata enchants us with nymph-like princesses and half-nude girls in kimonos. Here are stimulating role play and exotic charm in their purest form.
Murata began displaying his art photography at a public exhibition in Tokyo in 1996. It was a huge success and was the first glimpse the work got into the amazing dream world of this most amazing artist.
Regina José Galindo
Social Cleansing, 2006
Regina José Galindo ’s bleak performances consistently depict self-initiated violence against her body. Through her work Galindo directly responds to the struggle of life in Guatemala under repeatedly corrupt regimes. She boldly holds up political crimes, social hierarchies, segregation and the oppression of women for examination.
Galindo assumes total responsibility in her work and quietly executes disturbing acts. She is a resolute protagonist, fulfilling her task with measured determination.
The Y Project
The Y Project Collection by Petter Hegre. No two creatures are created equal. We are, each one of us, as different as two sunsets, as unique us our fingerprints.
So it is with the female sex flower. It is as diverse as our very existence. It is life's most vital organ.

Around 2001, the artist asked some of his friends to paint parts of their bodies with small amounts of barium and then have sex in actual medical clinics.
At exhibitions, the X-rays are presented as giant stained-glass church windows. At a distance you admire the abstract forms, but it is only when you come closer and study it in detail that you see what it is composed of.

This is just a minimal part of Wim Delvoye.
