Michel Gouéry's Ceramic Erotica at Galerie Trafic
From September 9 to October 30, 2006, Michel Gouéry's artwork will be exhibited at Galerie Trafic in Ivry-sur-Seine, France. This showcase features a mix of both recent and older pieces, primarily crafted from glazed ceramic. Gouéry’s creations, which intertwine forms of penises and vaginas, explore themes of creation and sexuality. Delicate sculptures, placed on pedestals, present contradictions, such as a heart resting on a fiber bed and an overly heavy die. White stippling embellishes appendices and orifice edges. Three seated figures, akin to weary fencers, protect a neo-primitive temple. Kitsch influences are evident in Egyptian sarcophagus pastiches depicting sexual scenes. One large canvas displays a larva silhouette, while another brims with faces and tongues, symbolizing endless renewal.
