Lust

Overview

Georges Bataille, French writer, librarian and the 'metaphysician of evil' once wrote, "pleasure only starts once the worm has gotten into the fruit". But couldn't we safely say, with all the porny flotsam and jetsam floating around online, that all the worms in all the fruit have already been seen, grazed over, or digested? Not so according Brenda May Gallery, whose current exhibition Lust brings together a parcel of artists all focusing on the inner-catacoumbs of desire, sexuality, taboo, libidinous longing and any other synonyms you can think of.
