CSUphoto Student’s Show Getting Buzz

CSU photo student, Nico Pico Train has a new photography exhibition at Art on Madison in Lakewood. Her show, “Uncensored: Liquid Sex Series” has been getting some buzz in local media, including write ups in Cleveland Scene and Collective Art Network (CAN) Journal. The exhibit is, well uncensored.

According to the articles,  the work “ingeniously poses more questions than answers about sex, ” and that “formally, the photographs are stunning.”  The work “forces us to grapple with the realness of sexuality, as well as its humorous side. This is not cheap boudoir photography.  [the work] manages to balance her take on erotic art in a yin-yang way.”
