Like the red rose in the night
Illuminated by the moonlight
Haunting sexuality paints a baroque canvas of sensual delights: bold colour pallets, vivid sheens, the contrast of dark and light hues create pictures that are bold and striking.
Reflecting on an image of an eroticise Christ, one imagines the smouldering passions conveyed by the paintings of Caravaggio,
dark sensualities, striking sensuous tomes, contrasting vivid colours smoulder with eroticism.
They enharbour friction and tension.
He loved. He was the Son of God.
Raw animal urges tears at the sacred heart, one that is grounded to the earth and not to an imaginary heaven. He lived a life of raw passion.
Joyous and untrammelled sexual energy stretch across the canvases.
Potent and erotically charged, the static from the electricity sets free in wild abandonment. The head tingles from the rush; you want to be part of the scene — portrayed in the paintings — and to immerse yourself in their sensuality.
Shed your robes and let the artist’s eyes penetrate within to shine a light upon your soul.
