Hot, We Walked in on Paint Tubes Having Sex

Color mixing gets colorful in Robert Lange's 'Making Paint' series.

Like Toy Story if Andy had grown up to be an artist, a new series of oil paintings imagines what his paints get up to when we're not looking. Spoiler alert: it's sexy as all hell. Robert Lange, an artist and gallerist based in Charleston, SC, captures passionate thrusts, bent knees, and bedroom acrobatics through the lense of red, blue, and green paint tubes for the series, Making Paint. With clever titles like Making Purple and Paint Job, he makes his colors feel like real people getting colorful. There's even a threesome. Anyone who enjoys those soothing paint-mixing videos might even get a little hot and heavy looking at these babes.

Lange embraces the surreal throughout his work, capturing still-lifes of fruit next to fruit-sized animals, Buddhist monks suspended in virtual reality, and yoga moms firmly sitting on the surface of the ocean. He captures the way light bounces off of the details of his subjects for a gorgeous effect, and his soft-textured work is unmistakable as his own.

These are the first five images of what will be a 10-part series. Let your imagination fill in all the sensual blanks in Making Paint below.
