AJ Bravo (b.1993) is a London-based femme artist and scholar from Bilbao, Spain. Working with a variety of mediums, including photography, film, painting and mixed-media sculpture, her work is informed by her experience as a sex worker and research on pornography and aesthetics. Their painting practice using oil paint presents close ups of self-pleasure and arousal, equally questioning the relationship of art and pornography. Trained in illustration at Falmouth University, she is currently pursuing a PhD in Art & Philosophy at the University of Kent examining the relationship between censorship, sex-workers’ rights, the impact of FOSTA/SESTA and pornography.
