EROS & ICONS
EROS & ICONS
THE EROS & ICONS ART COLLECTION BY LILLY LIES IS NOW ON DISPLAY AT THE KROME FOR THE PUBLIC TO VIEW. EROS & ICONS IS A PROVOCATIVE ART EXHIBIT AND COLLECTION THAT EXPLORES THE INTERSECTION OF DESIRE, DEVOTION, AND CULTURAL MYTHOLOGY THROUGH STRIKING BLACK AND WHITE PAINTINGS. EACH PIECE IN THE COLLECTION JUXTAPOSES THEMES OF EROTICISM AND RELIGION, BLURRING THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN THE SACRED AND THE PROFANE. FEATURING ICONS LIKE JIMI HENDRIX, JIM MORRISON, MADONNA, IGGY POP, AND GENE SIMMONS, THE COLLECTION REIMAGINES THEIR LEGENDARY PERSONAS IN WAYS THAT CHALLENGE TRADITIONAL NOTIONS OF REVERENCE, VULNERABILITY, AND POWER. THROUGH BOLD, EVOCATIVE COMPOSITIONS AND PROVOCATIVE SYMBOLISM—SUCH AS CROSSES, THE ROSARY BEAD, SENSUAL GESTURES, AND INTIMATE POSTURES—EROS & ICONS INVITES VIEWERS TO QUESTION THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH MODERN ICONOGRAPHY, CELEBRITY WORSHIP, AND THE DANCE BETWEEN PURITY AND DESIRE.
