A selection of my UVimages can be seen in the Erotic Art Exhibition at The Gallery Liverpool in Liverpool from Friday 28th January to Friday 11th February 2011, as well as being used for the event advertising.

No taboo is left unexplored as The Gallery Liverpool launches its first ever exhibition of erotic art. From Bondage sculpture by Sexcetera’s Len Gifford to vaginal art (!), when Michelangelo said that “In art immorality cannot exist”, he hadn’t seen this work!

The Gallery occupies the entire upper floor of the industrial premises of John O’Keeffe and Son Ltd, well known local signmakers and engravers in the heart of Liverpool’s Independent Cultural District.

Featuring entertainment from Liverpool’s first male pole dancer (as well as a more traditional female – we aim to cater for all tastes!), and live art performances.

Boundaries WILL be crossed and – if you dare much of the work in the show is for sale.

The Gallery Liverpool is proud to be working together with IOISIS Pole Dancers & The Association of Erotic Artists. Featuring work from the acclaimed “ photographer to the stars” John Stoddart
