“The Sun is new every day.”
-Heraclitus
When Epicurus taught that pleasure is the highest goal of human consciousness, he could also have applied this idea to life itself: all living things aspire towards the intrinsic joy of being, which is the erotic principle. It is the mysterious, indestructible force that guides the living world in its constant renewal and flowering. The sun is new every day, and so are we.
"In this exhibition, I have chosen artists whose work aligns itself with the erotic principle. They explore both the physical pleasures of the flesh and the broader philosophical expressions reflecting our awareness that life itself is dependent upon the pregnant possibilities with which Eros seeds the world, filling it with indestructible life."
