Who
and what is JVB male Art ?
Johan van
Breukelen (1952) is a visual artist and since 1990 has specialized
in the male nude. In the beginning it was photo-artwork using a
combination of photography and chalk. Nowadays it is solely pure
photography (without the use of Photoshop or digital image editing!).
Characteristic in his work is often the recurrence and the
distortion of the model.
Because of this
mirrors are an essential component of the photograph. In his
photographs he tries to capture some of the mystery, strength and
vulnerability of male sexual energy. Van Breukelen has been
fascinated by the darker side of (homo) sexuality with its
sometimes deforming aspects.
At the same time
he wants to show some of the innocence and the beauty of desire,
the search for contact and connection.
Since 1991 the
work of Van Breukelen has been important to the image of the
Mannenwerk foundation. He is one of the founders of this
foundation which aims at the personal development and emancipation
of men.
On this Internet
site can you examine the photographs. There are several possibilities for signing on for a photography
session in the form of either a personal
photo shoot, or as a model for his free work.
