Man and Machine

mad use of a rock breaker, i bet that grease was fun to get off.

Sensational treatment !! You’ve really brought this to life!!

‘first door! first!’ omg so sorry, looks like he has tried to use our loo … great image :)

love the metallic looking finish Paul, an intriguing piece of subject matter too I might add

As always Paul, you manage to get such vitality and light into your exrtraordinary shots. Another winner mate.

This is amazing Paul! great finish and I love all the grease…. It looks precarious and the different textures, the shine of the metal and your skin…. nice!

The messes you get into..really Paul.

Gonna have to toss those undies for sure.

So love the treatment Paul…..lighting is amazing…...but you sure need a degreasing now…!!

I’m lost in the coils and the grease and the light….another disorientating and yet absorbing image, Paul!!!

I could sort that out…

Its as if he is born from the machine – there is a sympathy and niavety – perhaps due to the crawl position of the man. Strangely beautiful.

Well done Paul….love the colours and amazing treatment, cool image!

hahahah! very good.

woops.

wonderful work ! Jane

Like your post-processing, Paul. Well done for a brilliant image!

What the hell are you doin’ man…..........!!!!?? LOLOLOL. God you are a loon…..........(a very clever one, though) . Love the mechanical thingamagiggy you are crawling all over….......looks like a giant piston of some sort…..........just your cup of tea…......... ; )

What a mind you have Paul, this is a scream, love it!!

Crazy image Paul the tones and colours are really great. It has a air brushed feel to it …not quite real with your usual impeccable post processing. I love the way your images are instantly recognizable no matter what subject.

hahaha this fabulous and excellent!! Well done!!

what a great composition on this one…...... excellent

Makes me wonder what you will come up with next – is there a place this body has not been? LOL. I love the soft metallic sheen on the body and the brilliant greens and coppers. Great work.

Fantastic again Paul! Love it!

ohhhh i hope that’s grease….. hahahaha

Have you shown this to your analyst Paul ? If you haven’t …..don’t. Another great work.
Dali meets Russ Meyer

fantastic Paul ! mesmerizing !

What I want to know is… what the hell is going on? Is this legal? Pure fancy. I’m luv’n it Paul!

Perfectly done

Wow, love it Paul, this is great!

Powerful image!

incredible imagery paul! happy diwali! <3>

Hmmmm… an illustration from the instruction manual, eh? Our City Council has banned the use of these devices but there’s a court challenge. I see that you’ve quite accurately shown the pneumatic Acme 169F personal home model which provokes the most controversy re. safety. You’ve made it quite clear, however that regardless of the judicial decision it’s probable that the insurance premiums on this device could price it out of the hands of the average consumer. Analysts though predict that the Acme 169DD will probably be available for some time at tanning clinics and massage parlors.

You’ve graphically demonstrated Acme’s greatest fear by showing that it’s not so much that purchases will be falling off, but rather that purchasers will be falling off. Big liability issue there, right?

great “description/commentary” there by Ted … great artwork by PV…excellent

Powerful emotionally and inspirational…your use of negative space is an artistic device that allows the viewers imagination a great deal of freedom. the processing and metallic finish is typical Vanzella style and as always brilliantly applied.

And he emerges from the mechanism, a changed man…...but, thank god, still a man….

Classic…love everything about it.

I love Ted Byrne

Paul… are those Y fronts?!! hehe. Love the moodiness of the sky.

Bloody fantastic Paul

Cool…

POS

Love the textures and framing of this.

Surreal and divine

CRAZY!!! But that’s what I love about it, you rock paul!

Compelling and enigmatic – love the composition!

excellent work Paul

Wow, this is crazy cool!!! :) Looks awesome.

Love what you have done with the background.
And your light points drive me….
xx

well, it had to be done…what does that say? WHISPER BREAKER? hAHAHA! Classic!

I don’t know what you trying to say here Paul. But as a composition it very pleasant to the eye.
And i really like the silkyness of the whole thing.
Would you care to tell me how you do that, or do you use models with that kind of softyness in their skin.

good one,paul

krazy kool

another fantastic image! love the colours and how shiny it looks…

I just knew this was yours even before seeing your name…those magical skin tones;)
Stunning work Paul!

wow

yey….maybe man becomes the machine,the toil of endless days working,and the need to make yourself feel human again is like a primal rush…and we are never more human than when we are naked,,,AND VUNERABLE

Riveting!!Sotto voce!!

Jeremy was seriously impressed with the new adult toy his boyfriend Tarquin had bought him. The Anal intruder turbo max! now this was serious sex hardware! the box declared that it was at the cutting edge of bum fun. The instructions highlighted that it was the most powerful love toy ever created! using a mixture of agricultural technology and materials designed to highten sexual gratification. The booklet had 142 pages detailing the safe operation of it’s very own 4 litre turbo diesel engine. Jools skim read the book whilst setting up his new love toy, Tarquin wouldn’t be home til late and he was eager to have a test run before his return. Julien’s mouth was dry and his sphincter unusually tight as he carefully applied a litre and a half of lubricating gel to the business end before gingerly strapping himself into the fully adjustable ‘stay put’ harness and pressing the green button on the console with his slimy hand and wondering should he really be doing this without a safety number present.

Daaaaaaaaaaaang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has blown my mind!!!! How did you – who is it – what IS he doing!!! A top image if it evokes such a response.

Amazing processing Paul! Im Speechless… and that doesnt happen often lol

absolutely amazing everytime I open something of yours I am floored. You my friend are amazing. Damn this is great

wow that’s pretty cool…i was tempted to use the word sexual but with all that mud near the rear i must avoid it…umm, for me it’s very emotive in the sensual sense…great work

This shot is amazing…although im slightly dubious as where the hose has been!! (sorry I have a FILTHY mind!!!)

Tonally amazing work!

the matrix revisited.

Wow.. what an amazing and cleverly composed image!

great treatment and I mean the image not the undies :)

Paul, if they do a forensic on this guy, I hate to think where they’re gonna find bearing grease.

I so love what you’ve done here. Machinery is taking us from behind more than we realize… the idea kind of fits in with Over the Hedge, but in a much less subtle way. Hope I’m getting your drift here… or maybe sex with machinery is cool. Not like it hasn’t been done before, yeah?

Happy to see you’re still pushing boundaries and making us think. What would we ever do without you?

The metallic finish on your
work just places me in awe.
Beautiful image – it leaves much
to the imagination!

Just incredible so many thoughts lubricating my mind ;-P XXXXXXXX Masterful work

finally something is working out

I missed this one. Brilliant concept, pose and PP work Paul! Well done!

Ha ha! Fantastic!

To Paul Vanzella.

A powerful reminiscence of the past post – popular art movement but that is where that ends and a total fusion of intrapersonal mythology and solo introspection begins … just like WELLES … BECKMANN … DALI and WILLIAM S. – you transmute an intrerpretation of a totality of state of mind … !

It is these raw moments in time that make it great to meet a fellow artist that is in touch with their ( BEING ) their higher and lower parts of the self.

Thank you my friend.
