Noah Xifr aka Bird - Artist - NoahXArts
69 Conversations
I enjoyed studying anatomy and life drawing in college as my art practice evolved. In 2022 after a lonesome pandemic I re-explored drawing venues across NYC. By 2023 I regained a sense of a creative community and established my new art practice at the intersection of kink and art! These new artworks explore concepts of the human condition including love, sex and the depths and intimacies of relationships. This body of artwork will culminate in a long format artist book I will design and publish titled: 69 Conversations.
This new series of my artwork contains suggestive fetish themes and a variety of gear including rope bindings, leather suits and sensory deprivation hoods. The study of the human form has a long-storied history of flirting with spicier content. 69 - refers to a sexual position. Conversations - refers to my goal of connecting with the viewer. I want my art to create a sanctuary, a safe space where people can be more empowered.
These drawings begin quickly as sketches with improvisational mark making during live figure drawing model sessions. Then back at the studio these sketches serve as a foundation to experiment with composition, symbolic use of color, and bold poetic language. My work as a street graffiti artist, muralist and self-published graphic novelist informs my use of words inspired by songs and poetry.
