Sissitrix

A wet desire represents a raw, exposed torso. A close-up, almost a

confrontation. The damp line suggests we are witnessing a moment in

the aftermath. We observe, very closely, a woman’s body after exertion:

workout, sex or a striptease?

A headless body, devoid of identity. Raw flesh, a latent desire. The

viewer looks from the outside into the interior of the painting, as if

through a window or a cinema frame. An off-centre image, evoking a

desire yet to be imagined.

In the back of the canvas is the key, the culprit. A curved penis.

In contrast to the intense physical and erotic attraction that emanates

from the front, the reverse reveals its brutality; despite the eroticism we

might like to believe in, it is nothing more than sex. Nothing more but

life and death. Raw and naked.

Eros and Thanatos.
