The reclining nude is a familiar sight throughout art history, found in paintings, sculptures, etchings, frescoes, you name it. Now Taryn Andreatta–who we are quickly becoming obsessed with–is having a go at the archetype, and she’s brought a little taste of bondage with her.
We’re especially sucked in by the small bits of color on Taryn’s lips and nipples, and the way her outfits blend seamlessly into the background, as if the amorphous darkness behind her is holding her captive with sexy, body-hugging lingerie. She’s an odalisque for the 21st century, except, you know, she’s independent and we’re slightly frightened by her.
