***Kinsey Collections acquired a winning artwork (Erotica competition) of R. Gopakumar (India/Bahrain) 'Cognition Libido' in Jan. 2010: As a result of collaboration between Nadia Russ/NeoPopRealism Starz, Catherine Johnson-Roehr/Kinsey Institue, and R.Gopakumar, now artwork 'Cognition-Libido' is a part of Kinsey Institute Art collection. R.Gopakumar said to NeoPopRealism Starz that "Inherent sexual desire is a common phenomena of the universal - whether it is male or female. This is what I exposed in this work of Art. I believe the time of the creation of life is absolute. The symbol used in this work is taken from Heart Chakra (Yoga) and the vibrant colors from Indian Tantric Art, the philosophical term (Libido) from Sigmund Freud."
