Japanese painter Hajime Sorayama found fame in the 80s with skillfully executed, highly fetishized airbrushed portraits of sexy female forms. His "objets de fetish" quickly found their way into American men's magazines Playboy & Penthouse, from there he went on to illustrate movie posters, album covers & other ads for various international brands.

HAIKU Art Review: Hajime Sorayama
Corporate sponsors
Want more S&M taboo
Fetishized females
Some of Sorayama's art is cringe inducingly sexist, but his images are so seductive, so technically masterful that he draws the viewer into his world. There is love &/or passion in his art. He lovingly objectifies women, he passionately fetishizes them & the results are fantastic guilty pleasures.
Hajime Sorayama was born in 1947 in Imabari, Japan. In 1965 he was admitted to the Shikoku Gakuin University, where he began to study Greek & English literature. In 1967, after the publication of his first work, Pink Journal, he transferred to Tokyo's Chuo Art School where he began to study art. Sorayama graduated in 1968 at the age of 21, & gained an appointment in an advertising agency. He became a freelance illustrator in 1972. In 1978 he drew his first robot.

Sorayama-san certainly doesn't have an Asian fetish. This is one of the few works featuring an Asian woman

Silver is a fetish I completely understand. For me, there is nothing sexier than a beautiful woman wearing silver clothing, not too much tho.
I don't really get the maid fetish. I mean I get it, having a sexy female servant take care & obey you. I just don't get the immense popularity of it this decade. I've been meaning to write a post about this, perhaps soon-ish.
