Kosher Sex
Judaism does not view sexual relations in the proper context as something dirty or sinful, but as an experience with the potential for expanded consciousness and even the possibility for mystical revelation. This is implied in the midrashic interpretation of the Song of Songs and throughout the Zohar, which likens the relation of G-d to his faithful to that of groom and bride, a man and his wife.
There is a problem for me as an observant (and observing) Jew to visualize this metaphor on canvas but I am helped by the possibilities of abstract and gestalt art which can elevate the so-called "animal act" into something more sublime and even transcendental.
