The Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw opens in its new premises on the banks of the Vistula with an exhibition entitled \u201cThe Beguiling Siren is Thy Crest\u201d. It delves into the cultural connotations of Warsaw\u2019s symbol, and its universality in the context of creating a modern urban identity. Those visiting the newly opened pavilion can view historic materials \u2013 works of art and artefacts \u2013 as well as creations of modern artists inspired by the mythological siren. Amongst those works is \u201cLe homard amoureux\u201d (The lobster in love) by the Belgian Pop Artist Evelyne Axell.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Evelyne Axell\u2019s painting is a celebration of female pleasure and desire, unbound by propriety. Axell experiments with eroticism by depicting a naked woman passionately embracing a lobster and blurring  the line between human and animal. She depicts female sexuality and sensuality as an attempt to fight the patriarchal order, while the lobster \u2013 a motif often used by Surrealists of the first half of the 20th<\/sup> century \u2013 introduces an element of humorous perversion to the composition. The artist\u2019s formal choice also merit attention; a wooden applique design on canvas  painted with oil paints stands out from her other works, which usually utilize plastic and Plexiglas.<\/p>\n
