VISITORS to an exhibition have been inspired to produce their own X-rated pictures.

The Gilbert and George exhibition, which has been on display at Brighton Museum since April, includes naked self-portraits, images of the artists standing in their own bodily fluids and two giant images of penises.

Although Gilbert and George’s works may not be everyone’s taste plenty of people showed they are not easily offended.

Visitors have left behind dozens of saucy images including bottoms, genitals and poos in the feedback area of the show.

Brighton Museum’s fine art curator Jenny Lund said: “The show has clearly inspired many people to create their own art or leave a comment.

“Some of the drawings are quite graphic while others have a saucy seaside postcard feel with people clearly enjoying the freedom to draw a rude picture.

“Some of the images by Gilbert and George can be challenging but the overwhelming reaction from our feedback board has been positive.

“It seems Brighton visitors are not easily offended and have loved the show.”

Karen Antoni, the gallery explainer at Brighton Museum, said a majority of visitors enjoyed the exhibition.

She said: “I find it’s really well-received.

“When people look at the pictures by Gilbert and George, they laugh and tell me they really enjoy it.

“They obviously liked the fun element, as well as the serious element to the art.

“We have a board where people can put in their feedback.

“The board is quite full now, visitors either drew pictures or wrote down their thoughts.

“There are pictures of penises and poos, naked men. Some drew naked bottoms, and someone wrote ‘my children enjoyed the show’.

“However, there was one visitor who wrote ‘not suitable for children’.”

Ms Antoni explained Gilbert and George’s artwork mainly explore sex and sexuality.

They deliberately shock viewers to provoke them to think about taboo topics.

She said: “Gilbert and George artwork has naughty elements.

“It’s also a chance for visitors to do something a little silly.

“There’s a feelgood factor in the artwork.

“It has inspired people to talk about sex and sexuality and other topics we feel uncomfortable to discuss openly.

“Gilbert and George paintings are about progression, with a bit of humour in it.

“Seeing the amount of positive feedback just shows people are open minded.”
