(Los Angeles, CA) October 4, 2024 - In an era dominated by digital content and artificial intelligence, a bold new publication emerges to celebrate the timeless allure of analog art. NOVU Magazine, the brainchild of revered photographer Asher Moss, is now open for pre-orders, offering art enthusiasts and collectors a sumptuous feast for the senses.
NOVU is more than just a magazine; it's a high-end hardcover art book that places a superior emphasis on sensual film photography, while also exploring the surreal and avant-garde in today's fashion and art culture. Serving as a tactile manifesto, NOVU celebrates the raw, unfiltered beauty of analog artistry. Each page whispers of a time when imperfections were embraced, where the graininess of film told stories that digital precision could never capture.
Editor-in-Chief Asher Moss, known for his whimsical yet sophisticated approach to film photography, has curated a stellar lineup of contributors for the first issue. Photographers Graham Dunn, Ambrojo, Aaron Feaver, and Theo Gosselin join Moss in presenting their notable works. The issue also features art from legendary figures like Cy Twombly and Yves Klein, alongside emerging talents like poet Bryce Ehrecke and painter Keely King.
The inaugural issue, set to ship in October/November 2024, is a collector's dream. With only 500 copies available, each of the five unique dust covers is finite to a mere 100 copies. Each issue is a clothbound masterpiece, featuring 264 matte interior pages and adorned with gold foil debossing on the cover and spine. NOVU is truly an investment in art.
The magazine's birth story is as compelling as its content. Moss recalls, "When I first started shooting film photography in 2012, not many people were doing it. It was the height of the digital age, and my Instagram took off in the early days because of the grainy romantic aesthetic I was bringing to the masses." Inspired by 60s & 70s magazines like Playboy and LUI, Moss knew early on that he wanted to create a magazine of his own.
What sets NOVU apart is its unwavering commitment to analog art forms. From the paintings to the editorials, every piece featured is created using analog methods. This dedication to traditional artistry makes NOVU the first magazine of its kind, preserving what Moss calls "the analog way" in an increasingly digital landscape.
The magazine's vision goes beyond mere aesthetics. As Moss explains, "While the overlords of tech control what can and can't be seen online, and who are now using AI to block and limit content, NOVU is a new place to share art through print media." It’s a bold statement against censorship and a celebration of artistic freedom, offering a home for artistic nudity at a time when social media platforms are becoming increasingly restrictive.
Designed as an art magazine for everyone, NOVU transcends the limitations of the male gaze. While focusing primarily on the female form, it will appeal to a sophisticated and diverse audience. Its elevated content makes it an ideal addition to any coffee table, a showcase for those who appreciate fine art and design.
NOVU isn't just inviting you to read — it's calling you to feel, to lose yourself in a world where every image carries intention and serendipity. As you hold this clothbound treasure, you're not just pre-ordering a magazine — you're joining a renaissance of print that dares to slow down time in our fast-forwarded world. Each turn of the page is an act of defiance and a celebration of timeless beauty.
For art enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who appreciates exclusive creations, NOVU Magazine is now available for pre-order—reserve your copy now.
Join exclusive NOVU Launch Party on October 24 at Skyduster Space in Silverlake, Los Angeles, for an untamed unveiling of the magazine featuring prints, DJ and bar.
