140 Dicks From Tinder (2019), Oil on Canvas


An intrepid 21-year-old art student set out to document over a hundred penises. Francesca Harris, who attends the University of Northampton in England, took to Tinder to solicit source material for her art project, titled “The Modern Male.”

According to Metro U.K., Harris matched with over 600 men. She started all of her conversations with a simple blunt request: “Dick pic?” In addition, her Tinder bio notified users that she was on a dick-pic hunt for a project. Many people happily obliged once they became aware of the nature of her work — many more than she expected. She says the flood of photos was almost too much for her phone to handle. “I had to turn [off] my notifications as it kept crashing my phone,” she said.
