ARTICLE 2:
“Here, buttocks have something to say. Art is no longer content with being pretty: it disturbs, questions, and laughs bitterly. Welcome to a world where the feminine makes no apologies.”

🔥 Unwise art: when provocation becomes a necessity
Correct art is boring. Incorrect art is vital. Improper Art in the Feminine is necessary.
Some works come across like well-placed insults. They seek neither to seduce nor to reassure: they scratch where the itch lies, asking questions without bowing. Provocation then becomes a tool—not gratuitous, but essential.
🧨 From provocation to proposition
The history of art has always flirted with scandal:
Gustave Courbet exhibited The Origin of the World in 1866 — a painting that didn't say hello.
Marcel Duchamp created a urinal in 1917: art descends into the absurd.
The Guerrilla Girls put up flashy posters: furious feminism and stinging figures.
In this vein, Arson sculpts volumes that do not ask for permission. His works are disturbing because they say out loud what we prefer to leave silent.
Each sculpted buttock, each engraved curve, becomes a position for Incorrect Art in the Feminine:
Art is not kind. It is honest.
🎯 Why provoke?
Because silence is complicit.
Because pretty is sometimes a lie.
Because the feminine, too often censored, deserves a brutal, frank, free space.
Arson does not carve smooth symbols.
It captures the scream, the embarrassment, the grotesque. It invites us to think differently—through shock, humor, and confusion. Improper Art in the Feminine.
A work that disturbs is a work that exists.
✨ Example of a fictional work: “Clash Culture”
A monumental installation: three life-sized sculpted posteriors, each covered in provocative slogans—“Your modesty is indifferent to me,” “Feminine and ferocious,” “Carnal art, frontal art.” Arranged in a triangle, they form an arena of confrontation.
The audience mills around, embarrassed or hilarious. But never indifferent.
