The opening of my solo exhibition “Neon Lights” Miami’s World Erotic Art Museum was a great success. The event was hosted by Dr. Naomi Wilzig one of the World’s preeminent collectors of fine-art erotica. I was fortunate to be able to attend the event in the company of many friends along with both press and public to view this collection of what The Miami Huffington Post described as, “featuring photography that mixes the psychedelic with the feminine physique. Whether ropes, neon-colored fishnets or dripping latex paint, colors glow under ultraviolet lights and hug the curvature of blue models’ breasts, behinds and nether regions in a tantalizing series of images.”

The Miami New Times reported: “If there are two things South Beach does well, it’s color and skin… so it only makes sense that Robert Babylon’s exhibit “Neon Lights” would land in South Beach. A mix of retro pin-up sensibility and 1980s aesthetic, the works feature scantily clad women wearing fetishy pieces such as fishnets and tutus — all of which nearly jump off the page in fluorescent bursts… we all know the real spiritual homeland of these images is Miami Beach.”

The exhibition remains on display at the museum until the end of June. Further information can be found at www.weam.com

I’m delighted to announce my solo exhibition “Neon Lights” opens on May 22nd 2012 at the World Erotic Art Museum and remains on display until the end of June.

The World Erotic Art Museum (WEAM) on Miami’s South Beach is home to the Dr. Naomi Wilzig collection of erotica, the greatest collection of fine art erotica in the U.S.  Following hot on the heels of exhibitions by Rembrandt and Tom of Finland is “Neon Lights”, my first U.S. solo exhibition featuring an eye-catching selection of my erotic UV images. Dr. Wilzig is acknowledged as one of the nation’s preeminent collectors of erotic art and has personally curated this exhibition. Further information can be found at www.weam.com.

Read the press release (opens in a second window).

“Without a doubt Robert’s most amazing and unique work is his UV work, every one I show it to loves it, it’s where he really stands apart form the others and it’s very safe to display as its sexual messages are very subtle. His images have a unique and very visual power, they leap away from the conventional, especially the amazing colours he generates with the use of UV. I think he is very much a master of this very 21st century erotic art.”
– China Hamilton

“It is fascinating how an artist can take a mundane image or photo, add a strategic splash of color, and give it new meaning and life. That is what Robert Babylon has done with his use of Neon Lights.”
– Dr. Naomi Wilzig
