This intimate, elegant hardcover features contemporary oil paintings of explicit, celebratory, whimsical and intense sexual subject matter, private images both tantalizing and surprising. Non-exploitative, mature and playful, BenAmots' art is a fearless celebration of the physical.
The introduction features an eclectic sampling of other artworks by Laura BenAmots. "Through The Peep Hole," is a section comprised of nine miniature images of up-close-and-personal body parts. "Catching Breath" features a full range of medium- and large-scale flesh-toned canvases rendering highly private sexual interludes. Also includes two facsimiles of hand-written and typed erotic poems by the painter, an artist bio and interview.

She holds her BFA and MFA in painting and printmaking from Tyler School of Art and the University of the Arts, also in Philadelphia.
