This exhibition represents a selection who are uninhibited and who reflect the ever-present nature of sex and its industry within society. Visual culture is often loaded with sexual imagery in many contexts. It is given that sex is used to sell consumer goods; sex itself is sold; and sexual products are sold. We have no volition in being exposed to this extraordinary phenomenon, be it latent or overt, from a TV advertisement to front cover of a style magazine to a sex card in a phone booth.

The artists here continue in a long history of modernist technique by appropriating this imagery from low and mass culture such as advertisements and pornography, and respond by making objects of great formal beauty. These works contain an overtly sexual content whilst maintaining an ambiguity that is absent within the original source material. Not only this, but they do so in a celebratory fashion. A subject which can even still be something of a taboo is aired here and congratulated.
