Gernot (1969- date) is a painter, freelance illustrator, sculptor and designer who lives and works in Bavaria (Germany). Once upon a time he created and exhibited large sized, frightening machinery pictures and ugly creatures in oil paint during the 90's. He eventually decided to concentrate more of his time creating the bizarre, unusual and the accentuated female shape.

Several illustrations of bold mistresses, voluptuous pony-girls, masked nuns and rubberized maids followed. As a consequence his first publications appeared in fetish magazines such as Secret and Twilight and eventually a permanent cooperation with the world’s leading magazine in this genre – Marquis.

Gernot draws and paints his bizarre characters with a passion yet is very technical in his approach. Since about 1998 he has earned his living from books, original art, flyers graphics, copies for tattoo studios and commissioned works for private clients. He also sculpts figurines for his series of stylish fetish sculptures. Very much a character and one who should be followed rather closely. His latest book is "The Art of Gernot" published by Marquis Edition can either be purchased via Marquis or at http://www.bizarre-gallery.com/
