I like to give the freedom to the viewer to imagine a face, or not, as they will. many tell me that they see themselves or people the know in my works- if I were to make them full portraits it wouldn’t work that way. it’s like how some authors don’t fully describe their characters to allow room for the reader to form their own associations.
if the aim is to sweep the piece under the rug then rely on the judgement of the patrons. they don’t have to look, they don’t have to attend and they will almost certainly not care either way. however, when a piece is censored, the artist receives publicity, the work receives publicity and the organizers receive flack. would this piece receive publicity if it were just involved in the exhibition?
I am looking forward to seeing the final photograph sand genuinely sorry I had to miss out. this is such an inspiration that people can shed their inhibitions and realize that it’s all just skin, we all have it and there is nothing that special, shameful or worrisome about it. it’s another step forward- especially in a country that is seeing way too much in the way of censorship.
I wish them lots of luck and joy with their twins and hope the birth goes smoothly. it will certainly be a day they will never forget- and a great story for the kids later!
As usual I can’t make it to this spencer tunick installation either, which is a huge shame as I support Tunick’s work and the thoughts behind this installation – at 12 days from B-day I will be way too gravid to make the trip- let alone strike poses!. however, if you would like to sign up and be a part of it go here – http://www.mardigras.org.au/tunick/ Tunick says he has been a lifelong advocate of gay rights.

Sylvester Stallone’s Nude Artwork There’s many a celebrity that will turn up to the opening of an envelope. But Rocky and Rambo star Sylvester Stallone had a very good reason for his random appearance at the Art Basel Miami Beach fair. It was the actor’s first gallery show, and it was his colourful expressionistic paintings…
Sarah Hatton’s controversial painting “Each person does figure out for themselves what they think the intent is,” she says, “and some are going to see that it’s negative and others will see it as I see it, which is an innocent observation of what I see every day as a mother.” I’ve shown the digital…
where do you hang your nude art? most collectors I have met over the years (of my work and others) hang the nudes they purchase in the bedroom. it seems to be some form of unspoken consensus that that is where nude art belongs. is this some kind of feng shui for bedroom fu? is…
Consternation – 12 x 12 Oils on Canvas by Jennie Rosenbaum The castle of Graymark was a dying place, sick with age nudeart disuse and rotten with decay. I gave it to a fairy girl who sang to me of beauty and light and things a dragon longs to hear. I have nudeart thinking about…
