Christos Tsintsaris will be the only Greek artist taking part in this year’s International Erotic Art Exhibition “Dirty Show” in Detroit, Michigan.
Founded by Jerry Vile in 2000, the exhibition showcases over 400 pieces of art by over 250 artists from 20 countries and offers an alternative solution to the celebrations of Valentine’s Day.
The exhibition always takes place close to the 14th of February; this year the exhibition will be open from February 10 to 18 at Bert’s Warehouse Theatre. Through painting, sculpture, photography, illustration, video art, performances and screening of movies, sex will be presented to the audience both as a concept and an image.
Christos Tsintsaris from Thessaloniki will present his work “Howard’s Girls on Wednesday Night” at the exhibition. Having graduated from Boston University’s School of Fine Arts (now the College of Fine Arts) the Greek pop-surrealist presents they key features of his most recent work, which combines vivid colors and particularly expressive cartoon figures. With a sense of humor or criticism, Tsintsaris gives his own interpretation and perspective on things, such as the world and sex.
Sarah Klein wrote on the small but significant word of sex (Metrotimes, 2003) that “Sex sells. Sex intrigues. Sex scandalizes. Sex starts some careers and finishes others. Any channel on the television, any URL on the Web: It’s all about sex, sex, sex, sex, sex!”.
