New York indy auteur and VCA contract director, Joe Gallant, along with adult performer April Flores are among the industry members whose art work will be featured in Sex Worker Visions exhibit at the LGBT Community Center and David Bohnett Cyber Center, 208 W. 13th St. in Manhattan.
The event, scheduled to run from next Wednesday to May 20, will feature a number of industry members’ works including Gallant’s fresh enema painting, made in a collaboration with one of his starlets.
“It’s basically a paint enema we give her,” Gallant said.
“This way, girls blow colorful geysers out of their well-trained sphincters and you let the chips fall where they may, so to speak.”
Also featured are Paul Sarkis’ black and white photos of Seymore Butts and Adam & Eve contract performer, Mari Possa, as part of his series on real-life couples who work in the adult industry.
George Pitts, former photography director at Vibe magazine, will exhibit his portrait of adult performer April Flores, who recently made her first girl-girl scene in Belladonna’s Evil Pink 2.
Gallant, whose artworks have been on public display in the past, said the exhibit is one way of showing the creativity behind those who work or perform in the industry.
“Too often people in the sex industry are either glamorized or demonized and too often we don’t see the complex and artful person behind the performer,” he said.
