William N. Copley’s solo exhibition, ‘X-Rated (1972–1974)’, is currently on view in our Berlin gallery at Goethestraße 2/3 until 22 April.

The ‘X-Rated’ series represents a singular chapter in Copley’s oeuvre, deliberately set apart from the prevailing currents of the early-1970s art scene. Even in today’s uncensored and image-saturated world, Copley’s suggestive canvases retain a subversive charge. By merging art and eroticism, Copley challenged conservative norms and rejected the notion of artistic neutrality, clearing away moralistic constraints in favour of directness and humour.

William N. Copley’s solo exhibition, ‘X-Rated (1972–1974)’, is currently on view our Berlin gallery at Goethestraße 2/3, until 22 April.

In Copley’s work, scenes of copulations and or**es are set against vivid, brightly coloured backgrounds animated by bold, geometric patterns, making them almost ‘too artful to be libidinous, let alone lascivious’, as critic James R. Mellow has remarked. It is both this treatment of the backgrounds and the contorted, entwined bodies with their attenuated limbs and schematic outlines that has prompted critics to draw a link between Copley and Henri Matisse more than once.
