I originally discovered Will Cotton when he painted my favorite singer Katy Perry's Teenage Dream album cover. He painted her nude in a cotton candy cloud for the cover of her hit album Teenage Dream, served as artistic director for her music video “California Gurls". Will Cotton is known for sculpting and painting beautiful women and desserts, dropping his muses into vast edible landscapes of taffy forests, cotton candy clouds, and gingerbread houses. Cotton bakes all of his confections, and creates props in his studio to paint. He is a master baker, and last year opened a bakery at the Partners & Spade gallery in New York. His new body of work continues to portray women and food, but the fantasies now are more specific. Beneath the croquembouche (french dessert) and rock candy tiaras, these are real women.
