Nymphomania – Fuchsia & Neon Blue | Markers on Paper (2025) Resim Nolan Trace tarafından

"The author's original illustration, done with alcohol markers, explores the psychiatric concept of nymphomania (also known as andromania, metromania, or "rabies of the womb"), a type of hypersexual disorder characterised by compulsive sexual desire in women.
The painting visualises a woman obsessed with compulsive sexual desire. She is depicted in a seductive pose on top of male figures - symbols of promiscuity, emotional alienation and meaningless repetition. Her body is a conduit of desire, not feeling. The surface of the illustration is permeated by the tension between attraction and devastation, instinct and self-destruction.
A woman with nymphomania suffers from compulsive sexual fantasies, loses control over urges, and uses intimate contact as an escape from anxiety, loneliness, and inner pain. Often suffers from infections and experiences suicidal thoughts. The condition is not satisfying - only addictive.
Symbolic: a reference to zoology - the female praying mantis biting off the head of the male after mating. This emphasises the destructive, instinctive nature of attraction, in which there is no room for reciprocity or care. The heroine of the illustration feels no love - only an overwhelming urge.
From the patient's recollections: "I can't stop. I am attracted to men, their bodies and strength drive me crazy. I feel no emotion, only boundless desire."
Gustave Flaubert, "Madame Bovary": "She surrendered to him as before, completely without resistance..."
