Alexander Esguerra’s It’s Just Sex represents a cultural examination and celebration of the “Literal Expressionism” that exists within everyone. Bringing together numerous partners from around New York, the exhibit transforms their manifestation of affection, seduction or pleasure into art – leaving a lasting mark that represents this moment of self-actualization. The
exhibit sets out to break down the taboo that is sex, by showing it for what it is – an act of beauty and love.
Opening May 22, 2010 in SoHo, the one-night launch of It’s Just Sex will display the various canvases amidst a festive celebration featuring live performances by Electric Slim and DJ MSB.
