Book Reviews of Art of Gennadiy Koufay
Book Review: A TALENT FROM EASTERN EUROPE!
Summary: 5 Stars
Gennadiy Koufay is a relative newcomer to the realm of pin-up/erotic art but in a short time the native of the Ukraine has quickly established himself as one of the best in the filed. SQP presents the first collection of work from this talented artist who came to New York in 1995. Looking at Koufay's work it's obvious that he's influenced or at least studied the pin-up art of the 1940's. Like those great masters, Koufay focuses the entire attention of his painting on his subjects, leaving the backgrounds completely open.
Some of the subjects of this collection include blonde bombshells Pam Anderson and Victoria Silverstedt as well as the legendary Bettie Page. Anderson takes the spotlight in a painting simply titled, "Pamela" as she models on a bed in a white teddy. Pam also appears on the back cover in a piece called "Apple", as a topless Pam is wrapped up in the American Flag, eating an apple as the ultimate female temptress.
Bettie Page is the subject of a number of pieces in the book. My favorite has her dressed in a lavender Playboy bunny outfit. The Gorgeous Silverstedt also is the subject of several of Koufay's paintings. "Village Girl" shows off her ample assets while she is wearing lace panties and a cowboy hat. Another dazzling piece has Silverstedt posing in a revealing blue sun dress, holding a daisy. Note the brilliant blue eyes!
A classic 1940's style pinup gets a two page, centerfold type spread as an alluring nude woman lies on her stomach with her backside arched in the air. A piece called Pinup #44 is yet another of Koufay's takes on classic pin-up art with an alluring red head dressed in sheer black nylons and lace bra.
What strikes you about Koufay's art is that he really "gets" the look of classic pinup art while still adding his own seductive style to each piece. I look forward to seeing more from him in the future. The book is 48 pages featuring both black & white and full color art.
