“Sex Gallery” Decorates Dinner Tables Across The Globe With Erotic Conversation Pieces Of Art From Acclaimed Danish Artist

Talking ’bout want can’t be mentioned, the bestial, even the uncivilized has become conversational at the dinner table by Louise Hindsgavi from Denmark.  “Playmates” is one such creation, a figurine that comes from a parallel world, similar to ours, yet different in it’s mutinous adaptation of civilized life.  Some of her porcelain artworks look like toys and are recognizably contemporary in design. It’s as though the world of mythology has sprung from the pages of Shakespeare and is challenging ‘good taste’ with animal heads atop of deformed human bodies depicted as having sex, or ripping at their chests, or getting tattooed.

Back in the 18th century, figurines were considered an erotic conversational piece. They were put on dinner tables to put a spark in high society’s dinner parties. These artworks were essentially pastoral scenes with provocative yet bold symbolism and erotic undertones.  This kind of art was supposed to encourage a lighter atmosphere and blur language boundaries.

In an idealized world in which everything is seen as perfect with no grey areas, Louise’s figurines highlight what many people hide within themselves behind a veneer of morality.

SEXY DRIVING

Driving a car can be likened to having sex. When we first jump into the driver’s seat we generally know the basics, i.e. how to turn on the ignition key, and use a combination of the gears, clutch and accelerator to make the car go. Then as our knowledge and experience expand, we learn how to negotiate traffic, stop for pedestrians, even avoid potential car accidents.

Sex comes with no instruction manual. For beginners, it can be the blind leading the blind. Or as is sometimes the case, the unscrupulous manipulating the inexperienced innocent.

Sex requires us to feel our way, mastering the rudimentary mechanics, with our ideas and expectations as our guide. Some people never move from first gear. Fearing the changing environment, they stay cocooned in their sexual shell.

For those of us who get into top gear, feeling the exhilaration of the ‘wind in your hair’ and the thrilling excitement of speed as the car’s wheels hug the highway, fear not the exploration of sex.

Sex, as driving has different stages, each evolving with practice, education and experience. All levels are accessible to everyone.

Sex is a state of mind.

It is never too late nor are you ever too old to get behind the wheel, accelerate and get moving.

Avec l’amour,

Shele & Michael.
