STRIPPED
October 2021‘Stripped’ emphasizes the human body and the portrait as a vehicle for personal emotional reactions to intimacy. Art works that will evoke and ignite. Each work is selected to reflect perspectives of the physical body, and our identification with emotion and intimacy or the lack of. Covid-19 reduced our capacity for touch and intimacy and Stripped brings back the love and passion for the human figure and our identity with others and ourselves. Diving deep into themes of philosophy and emotion, intimacy and vulnerability, isolation and touch, this is a creative process that organizes three outstanding artists in one event. We know you will walk away from Stripped, challenged.
