{"title":"NIGEL KENT","description":"\u003cp\u003eNigel Kent (b. 1933, Australia) studied art in Sydney before moving to London in 1959. An early participant in the city’s underground leather scene, he later relocated to Amsterdam in 1973, where he embraced the emerging S\/M culture and began producing homoerotic drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking first under the pseudonym James D., Kent exhibited alongside Tom of Finland at the RoB Gallery, an encounter that helped inspire his shift from sculpture to drawing. Over the following decade he created a substantial body of erotic works—portraits of leathermen, postcards, and his distinctive “still life” studies of the male body—shown across Europe and the United States and published in magazines such as Drummer and Mr. S\/M.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKent later moved to Antwerp in 1990 to pursue Constructivist work before returning to Amsterdam in 1993, where he continued drawing and published the book Der Mann in Kunst (1994). Also a writer under the name Dik Staal, Kent describes his drawings as erotic works meant to engage the viewer’s imagination, reflecting decades of personal experience within leather culture.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"nigel-kent-homage-to-the-hun-1997","title":"Nigel Kent, Homage to the Hun, 1997","description":"\u003cp\u003eGraphite, pen and ink on paper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1997\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e11 x 15 inches (27.94 x 38.1 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnique \/ Signed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProvenance: Private collection\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShips from Los Angeles, CA, USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nigel Kent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68046790131821,"sku":null,"price":1000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/6728\/6125\/files\/D20F4563-1380-456B-AC94-EE1E989EB20C_1_105_c.jpg?v=1790961406"},{"product_id":"nigel-kent-yankee-steel-uloskes-1997","title":"Nigel Kent, Yankee Steel Uloskes, 1997","description":"\u003cp\u003eGraphite, pen and ink on paper\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1997\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e11 x 15 inches (27.94 x 38.1 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnique \/ Signed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProvenance: Private collection\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShips from Los Angeles, CA, USA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nigel Kent","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68046790164589,"sku":null,"price":1000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/6728\/6125\/files\/KENT2.jpg?v=1790961407"}],"url":"https:\/\/cultureeditart.com\/collections\/nigel-kent.oembed","provider":"Culture Edit Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
