What or who is exotic cancer?
About
Exotic Cancer is an artist from Melbourne, Australia, who began sharing her artwork on Instagram in 2017. Often drawing inspiration from her time working in strip clubs, her illustrations quickly caught attention for their raw, authentic storytelling. As her following grew, her art became her primary focus, eventually leading her to become a full-time artist.
At its core, the themes within her work can be summarised in three words: female sexual empowerment. Her art delves into themes of lust, desire, and the complexities of human relationships, often viewed through a sinister, dystopian lens.
Alongside her provocative illustrations and ominous animations, Exotic Cancer channels her creativity into high quality, unique product design across multiple mediums. Notably, her board game, Nightshift, successfully raised over a million dollars on Kickstarter, transforming her art and ideas into an interactive experience.
