Kama Sutra (2000)

These simple sumi ink paintings can simultaneously be viewed as minimalist works of geometric expressionism as well as representations of sexual acts. Based on the ancient Hindu texts of the Kama Sutra, each painting depicts a distinct coital position. Contrasting religious spirit, sexual desire and purified aesthetic form, this portfolio exemplifies the humor, conceptual provocation and visual dynamic that lies at the heart of Enchi's art practice.
