LAVA Collective and PUMA 365 are proud to present Women, a solo show by London based multitalented creative Fats Shariff aka Fatsarazzi.

Women is a collection of polaroids and photoprints inspired by Bukowski’s book of the same name and the artist’s love of women. Never vulgar but definitely sexy, the pictures have a definite retro 70s soft porn feel.

“I wanted to shoot something that was different to what I have done before & challenge myself a little. These images are meant to be amateurish, almost as if a boyfriend, lover was shooting the pictures. Probably also the sort of pictures Bukowski would have shot with a bottle of cooking wine in his hand”.

Fats‘ models are either friends or acquaintances, which allowed the striking feeling of intimacy. The women comfortably uncover for the pleasure of the – perhaps voyeuristic - eye. A prolific photographer, consultant, designer and blogger, Fats has collaborated with brands such as Vans, A Bathing Ape, Maharishi, Gimme 5 and Goodenough and more recently Swed- ish brand WeSC for whom he designed a mini collection launched in Colette, Paris.
