I had to keep coming back to it because I couldn’t quite understand it, even after reading the post several times. Then, while in discussion about it, it dawned on me – the references to homosexuality, punk culture and the sheer phallic nature of the piece reminds me of some of MapplethorpeÔøΩs work. The differences in the two artist’s work might be in the approach each artist has decided to deliver the information to the viewer. While Koh uses time-sensitive and delicate materials such as insect parts and presents his work with a more subtle visual, Mapplethorpe sort of puts it in your face with a raw visual. Although both artists can present in the viewer some uncomfortable feelings, Koh seems to bring the viewer a message that makes them think before they feel and Mapplethorpe seem to be looking to grab an emotional reaction out of the viewer before they have time to think.
