Erotic or libidinous images aren't new in the figurative arts and they have,rightly, an important place in them.What i'm saying here is that the way pornography is used by many an artist always strikes me as a desperate attempt to get attention.I have the same thoughts about religious images unless an interesting or fresh comment is being made with them.I'm not fond of using easy targets or readily available images because it has been done a trillion times before and with much better results than your average modern day 'shock at any cost' charlatan.
