Chinese Body Art 101

asian nude body art

Today I typed in “Human Body Art” in Chinese (人体艺术 for those of you who can see the characters. My apologies to those of you who cannot.) into several search engines here and maxed out my two gigabytes of RAM pretty fast with open windows.

Body art is usually a euphemism used here for erotica so it can slip by the censors and into mainstream bookstores and onto Internet sites. And am I ever glad that the authorities seem to like this photography as much as I do. I found one great cache of hundreds of pictures at Nphoto.net.

I located several artists and models I really appreciated and hope to be able to share with you in posts to come like chjilin above andChina has an abundance of gifted photographers and, of course, no shortage of beautiful subjects:

The Return of Gwendoline Yeo

Gwendoline Yeo

Gwendoline Yeo, who was originally brought to your attention by Marco, has recently completed a number of high profile projects. The most recent, a starring role in the Robert Duvall western “Broken Trail” which premiered on AMC last month. Here she is strutting her stuff at the premiere of “Broken Trail” at the AMC Theater in New York City.

There is not much out there in the way of high quality photos of the lovely Ms. Yeo, these are probably some of the best currently available on the web, and believe me, I’ve looked! 😉

As Marco had stated in his earlier entry on Gwendoline, she plays the Chinese Zither. I’ve included a link of Gwendoline performing this amazing instrument, as well as an interview she had done for Asia Pacific Arts.
