Erotic Art of Jan van Rijn Voices from the Corridor

Jan van Rijn is the nom d’artiste of a large and growing oeuvre of drawings and graphics in his own distinctive style of eroticism. Van Rijn grew up in the Netherlands, but is now based in southern Germany, as he says ‘backed up by my beautiful female companion and the mostly moderate use of the flavonoids, polyphenols and phytoalexins to be found in French red wine and some rieslings of the mid-Rhine valley’. || As well as producing artworks in a variety of media including dry point etching, mezzotint, engraving and digital prints, he is also a stonemason and sculptor. || Much of his material originates from mainstream porn sites, though more as an inspiration than any sort of direct copy. || Van Rijn has a very distinctive style, taking more standard erotic model poses and rendering them in an exaggerated and sexually corpulent fashion. There are no anorexic waifs – the bodies are fleshy and unashamedly sexual. || Voices from the Corridor was privately published.
