Exhibition review: SKIN DEEP
This week I went to London to catch the end of Jamie McCartney’s solo show Skin Deep at the Hay Hill Gallery
in Cork Street. After writing about Jamie’s Great Wall of Vagina a
couple of years ago, I was excited at the prospect of seeing the
finished work of art in person.
I was not disappointed.

Most people can’t tell the difference…
…between eroticism and pornography, they think that they are the same thing!
So, in this post I want to take a closer look at, what is meant by erotic art, how you might define it and if it is possible to distinguish it from pornography.
Earlier this year I paid a visit to a couple of different exhibitions, both of which were marketed as promoting and selling erotic art. The first exhibition I saw was the ‘Art Erotica’ in January of this year, arranged by Cork Street Open Exhibitions and following that, I went along in February to the exhibition ‘Erotikkens Kunst’ (The art of Eroticism), arranged by Bettina Sinnet Fornitz owner of Gallery Eros. In both of these shows the organizers felt compelled to distinguish and differentiate between art and pornography, perhaps in order not to discourage those who do not like pornography or disappoint those who do. The art that was chosen to go on show for both the exhibitions reflect just how wide the range of art is which is displayed in the name of eroticism.

Bedroom Art.
One of my favorite recommendations to people is to use erotic art to spice up their lovelife. Erotic art of a more or less explicit nature can serve as a visual reminder and provide exciting inspiration for your lovelife.
But I am not in the business of merely encouraging others to actively use erotic art, I make sure I follow my own prescription. So, recently I bought a couple of new art works for my bedroom art collection.
Are you curious what sexy pictures I bought for my bedroom? Well, I’ll let you in on the secret …
