Presented is a collection of international artists who channel their artistic perception to the concept of sexy art using various techniques that enable people to identify with their subjects, and in addition, the exhibit will feature art from the group Pornsaints, an international collective of artists who portray porn stars as saints. Their artworks are based upon the idea that porn stars may be "sanctified" by their performances. The group was founded by Francesco D'Isa in early 2007, in Italy.
