Lust, my favourite of the Seven Deadly Sins. It not only alludes to an intense sexual craving but also a passion, an enthusiasm and a desire for life, power, success or art. Lust can be more than just about sex. Music, for instance, lights fires in people's stomachs and makes your heart feel like its going to burst out of its chest. Lust is self- indulgent, its an overwhelming craving and a fierce, obsessive drive for pleasure or delight.
"Lust (Luxuria) is usually thought of as excessive thoughts or desires of a sexual nature. It is a shared sin. Although mutual indulgence only serves to push both parties along the road to hell, it is not, in intention, wholly selfish."
In keeping with the theme, here are some works by Emma Grzonkowski. Directly below is 'Lust'.
'Lust' captures intense passion with use of an harmonious colour palette of reds, pinks and the figure's facial expression. The dynamic slashes of paint suggest a deviance from the norm and almost replicate fireworks.
I particularly like the Seven Deadly Sins collection by Grzonkowski because they present women as the 'rule breakers'.
