When we first heard that John Stoddart was planning his new exhibition, Love and Lust in London, it immediately made perfect sense to introduce John to VEEN. In this twenty first century life we lead, there are very few people who force us to contemplate with the power of one simple image. In recent decades, photographers from Helmut Newton to Annie Leibovitz as well as photojournalists such as Kevin Carter and Eddie Adams have stopped us to think about world that we live in.

John Stoddart is without doubt, a man who opened our eyes to a fresh take on well-known celebrities and people. His images make us feel uncomfortably aroused and at the same time, humanely equal with the photographed person. John Stoddart has been a pioneering photographer in `London for 25 years and many of his portraits have become the iconic images of his 'sitters.'

LOVE AND LUST

Love and Lust is based on the two most powerful human emotions. The first part of the exhibition focuses on the power of female seduction, dressing to please herself and her lover. All the women in Stoddart's images have a confident and alluring quality, especially his photographs of pregnant women.

The second part of the exhibition, 'Dirty Little Pictures', is a series of 68 black and white portraits of porn actors and the technicians behind the camera working on the sets of different British movies over a two-year period. Stoddart's interest in pornography began on seeing ancient frescoes in a whorehouses in Pompeii, followed by a discovery that Britain was the last country in Europe to make professional adult movies.

The exhibition opened at Coco de Mer 108 Draycott Avenue, South Kensington, London SW3 3AE on Thursday 10th September 2009.

What is VEEN Art?

VEEN Art is a concept featuring famous artists and designers bringing VEEN Water into their creations. The artist has full artistic integrity to complete the work. “We want to create awareness with the artists and raise money for good causes,” says Tomi Grönfors, MD of VEEN Waters Finland Oy. The first VEEN Art exhibition created 10.000 euros for children in Finnish Lapland.

”Better than a cookie!” by Kaj Stenvall

The painting features the duck familiar from Stenvall’s earlier works. Water is playing the leading role and is featured in three forms: in a glass, in the sea and in tears. The tears are there out of pure joy and enjoyment of sipping VEEN. It is hard to say whether the duck is laughing or crying for the water being so smooth.
