Cut Me Up Issue 12: Eros, curated by Allan Bealy, is a selection of 18 artworks that explore the realm of eroticism. The erotic is not merely synonymous with sex, but rather encompasses a range of human emotions and experiences integral to creativity. For this issue, artists were asked to imagine their own erotic landscape through the medium of collage while incorporating elements from Cut Me Up Issue 11: Souvenir.

“Eroticism isn’t sex; its sexuality transformed by the human imagination. It’s the thoughts, dreams, anticipation, unruly impulses, and even painful memories which make up our vast erotic landscapes. It’s energized by our entire human experience, layered with early childhood experiences of touch, play, or trauma, which later become cornerstones of our erotic life.” Esther Perel
