Sex, Paper and Imagination: Three Years Representing Sex Without Being Explicit

Weekly illustrations for the sex section of Tentaciones, the Friday supplement from Spain’s leading newspaper: El Pa?s.

PROCESS

For three years, Serial Cut™ has shown a big audience every week how to represent sex without being explicit. If these illustrations are taken out from the sex section, they can’t be related with sex. And this was the big challenge. Also the different techniques used gave them a fresh air every week. The different typefaces used reinforced the subjects discussed in this section . Over 150 illustrations, the most special of which you can see here.

Maybe I just have a dirty mind – or perhaps I'm more attuned to sex than the average person – but I don't think removing some of these from the sex gallery would remove the sexual overtones. But that doesn't lessen the impact of the art, or of the other galleries at Serial Cut, home of Spanish artist Sergio del Puerto.
