Gernot
Gernot was born in 1969.
He is a painter, freelance illustrator, sculptor and designer who lives and works in Bavaria (Germany). After he created and exhibited large, frightening machinery pictures and ugly creatures in oil paint during the 1990s, he decided to concentrate more on his preference for the bizarre, unusual and especially the female shape.
Several illustrations of bold mistresses, voluptuous ponygirls, masked nuns and rubberised maids followed. The consequences were first publications in fetish magazines such as Secret and Twilight and a permanent co-operation with the world’s leading magazine in this genre – Marquis.
Gernot draws and paints his bizarre characters mostly with a wink of the eye but with technical seriousness and passion.
Since about 1998 he has earned his living from books, original art, flyers graphics, copies for tattoo studios and commissioned works for private clients. Besides these, he also sculpts figurines for his series of stylish fetish sculptures.
