SMEGMA

LOCAL RECLUSE LIFTS THE VEIL THAT COVERS HIS SMEGMA

"Smegma" (according to Webster: 'a cheeselike, foul-smelling, sebaceous secretion that may accumulate under the foreskin or around the clitoris') is a new series of voluptuous mural-sized paintings created by Stoic Swine. Taking hallucinogenic cues from the convergence of abstracted figuration, expressionism, 70's porn set designs, graffiti and cartooning, Mr. Swine negotiates over a theatre of garishly colored biomorphic forms that spew forth a territorial concoction equal parts blood to ejaculate...leaving behind, in wake, a sticky trail of molasstic viscosity not unlike that of pure primal smegma.
