 Akrylic - Review: Richard Kern at Feature, Inc. - by Randy Gladman
Richard Kern's models pose before his lens in manners most people only ever experience with their most intimate partners.
Treading in the shallow underground waters that flow periodically between art and porn, Kern's images carry the feeling of privacy and intimacy you normally draw only from those home movies or Polaroid/digital pictures of your past sexual partners you keep locked away in a dusty box, somewhere hidden from your current lover.
Kern, however, has been at this project for many years, and Merritt's images, while more beautiful aesthetically, are clearly derivative of Kern's ability to elevate pornography to a personal level of art while at the same time soiling the pictures with enough dirt to render their scopophilic pleasure absolute.

 Bright Lights Film Journal | Richard Kern
Kern, born in 1954, has had a dual career as photographer and filmmaker, but in both realms he works the same themes and motifs: New York as Boschian hellhole, pierced and pouting drug-swilling youth, Mansonesque tableaux of guts and gore (rendered in cheesy special effects), big guns, big knives, and rough hardcore sex.
Like both Waters and Warhol/Morrissey, Kern gives full play to the personalities of his stars, and no doubt a personality like La Leg is as crazed in real life as she is here.
Kern’s background as a photographer is evident in the attention to posing by his characters, and their general objectification.

 NewNudeCity - The World of Richard Kern - E-books
An image captured by Richard Kern brings us girls sometimes naked, more often in states of undress, carelessly smoking, hanging out, filling long hours; perhaps, like vampires, waiting for the sun to go down and for the real fun to start.
The air is laden with ambiguity, the women in shredded tights and broken stilettos, bound in leather straps and gazing into space, not lost, far from it: they are travelers who have just returned from a long journey and, while safely back in a familiar setting, they will never be quite the same person again.
Kern has a fascination for baths and showers, girls sitting on the john, girls in misty window light.

Richard Kern's photographic and film works are immediately identifiable -- blending S&M, punk-rock, documentary and fetish styles into a sensibility that is at once bold and revolting, sensual and ugly.
His photographs are more intriguing than his films, which suffer from too much emphasis on violence, oftimes bad acting, and shaky shot selection (and I'm not referring just to the handheld style).
It's surprising how beautiful some of Kern's photographic subjects appear very often, just because his style has a complete lack of pretension that can be inviting.

Enter Nick Zedd and Richard Kern—two filmmakers who rose to underground prominence in the '80s by flaunting conventional taste, morality, and similar platitudes and thus shocking many artistic types who'd never otherwise venture into that twilight world of cum-stained porno parlor peep booths.
Another gem in Kern's collection of rough diamonds is the bawdy humor of "My Nightmare." In this shortie, a cameraman jacks off while fantasizing about an impending shoot developing into a hot fuck session with the model.
Zedd and Kern do offer some fairly classy smut here, while their movies have still got that edge (though somewhat trendy) of 'attitude plus.' That is to say, they're hip items which you easily leave out on the coffee table.
