This week in things you never ever wanted to see, we bring you nude paintings of Seth Rogen. Based on their stylistic tonality (and the fact that they were posted on his Instagram), art experts have determined that these renderings of raw nakedness can be attributed to artist, teacher, student, lover and general visionary James Franco.
There is an innocence and purity in Rogen's submissive posturing, coupled with a contradictory sexuality. Almost as violently clashing as the reds and blues, we see an unconstrained duality of power and weakness pictured here. There is a blaring shame, cleverly juxtaposed with pride.
"Sleepy bear," Franco writes, drawing attention to the subdued animalism of his intimate depictions (read: while continuing to engage in blatant homophobia, because comedy).
According to the caption, these paintings will be available for viewing across various galleries in New York and Los Angeles. And, apparently, there are more Rogen paintings to come. In the mean time, be sure to enroll in Franco's acting classes, for the low, low price of $300 a month!
