Artist Statement - George Langbroek osa.sca.

My exploration of that most controversial of life's urges- the passions of eros, never ceases to fascinate and stimulate my imagination.

As an artist who is a Christian, I have often used Solomon’s Song of Songs as an inspiration and guide. This poetic song contains some exquisite love lyrics and is explicit sexually which I try to emulate in my work.

My work has often been referred to as visual poetry. It proclaims an integrated wholeness that is at the centre of a self-giving journey of discovery and fulfillment.
We men and women are made physically, emotionally and spiritually to live in love.

In my work passion and eros are not quashed under Christian prohibitions and puritanical restrictions to control the lustful "body". Rather, [despite our selfish failures in love] I'm still a romantic. The body is celebrated as a gift for mutual union and gratification of two diverse personalities in love.
