<\/a>The works were selected online, and Anderson was surprised that artists didn\u2019t embrace the me-too movement or have very little to say politically. The quality of work was even and there were certain favorites for everyone. Grace Dam\u2019s painting The Blackberry<\/em> is powerful in its quiet way, showing how cellphone interrupts even the most intimate moments of our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Photographer, Ravi Persaud\u2019s One Night Stand<\/em> stood out with its mystical loneliness, created by the soft warm light and the crumpled bed. Painter Nora House\u2019s work, Selfie <\/em>had a nude figure holding a phone camera for a pose. John Nobrega\u2019s video animation works, The Failed Seducer,<\/em> were dark and wonderful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Photographer Steve Socha used an overlay technique in his photo works while Vancouver photographer Trint Thomas\u2019s Purity<\/em>, a silver gelatin print, seemed like it was from another era of more innocence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vancouver queer artist Yvette Tang\u2019s bold, dark photographs, The Punisher<\/em>, express a fascination with fetish sex. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Cell Gallery artist, Shawn Postoff\u2019s work, though not part of the Sex Show<\/em>, provided an appropriate match looking at the male figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Sex Show<\/em> 2019 at Gallery 1313 was not as offensive as the sign outside the door warned but none the less an eclectic mix of works with a sexual theme from a variety of artists that made the exhibit worthwhile. In these times it seems few people are willing to celebrate this subject matter that is usually only heard about in the media in negative tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>
