The elusive and subversive artist Alphachanneling presents playfully provocative, erotic artwork featuring bold fantasies and powerfully energetic portrayals of raw desire. Applauded by Vogue, The Washington Post, VICE, Vulture, Juxtapoz, and an enthusiastic audience of 1.5 million followers, Alphachanneling has achieved influence by confronting cultural taboo through enthusiastic and unapologetic celebration of human sexuality.
