Welcome to Disappointed Virginity - The Photography and Films of Marc Blackie

"Marc Blackie is as resourceful a photographer as you are ever likely to find; even the most overlooked of household objects seem to find their way into his often darkly comic, sometimes poignantly stark and always unrelentingly erotic artworks. His tendency to interweave banality into his own unexpectedly complimentary reality, overwrought with the paraphernalia of (as he puts it), "the sinister underbelly of desire" is what separates Blackie from other artists. Whilst always removed from familiarity, his work remains inexplicably interwoven with it.
