Clayton Cubitt, 'Untitled', Blue, 2003-2009
“Erotica is using a feather,” wrote Isabel Allende, “pornography is using the whole chicken.” Clayton Cubitt takes Allende at her word. His pornographic photographs are juicy, meaty and fulfilling. His subject matter might not always be pretty, just as chickens are not the beauty queens of birds, but he prepares and presents raw flesh with immaculate elegance. And while some diners may find uncooked plucked chicken skin and muscle troubling, Cubitt masterfully transforms prime meat into tantalizing dishes.
