NUDE at Academy Galleries
NUDE at Academy Galleries
The nude is traditionally the most difficult of all art subjects and throughout history has created controversy.
It’s frequently quoted that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this exhibition confronts our ideas of beauty. In NUDE you will see nudes that leave you amazed by their sheer beauty, nudes that will surprise you and nudes that may well shock you, there are some remarkable images and structures.
Invited artists
Alongside Academy members six of New Zealand's top figurative artists, Sandro Kopp, Simon Morse, Marian Muggeridge, Miss Mica Still, Freeman White, and Matt Gauldie, have each contributed works as guest artists. Also four nudes from the late Eugene Fancott are included with these invited artists plus some quite haunting cross gender nudes from Siren Deluxe.
Matt Gauldie, the official artist for the New Zealand Army and a long time member of the NZAFA council, is the curator of the NUDE exhibition.
The NUDE exhibition runs until 4th October.
Academy Galleries are open daily 10am - 5pm and entry is free. Donations are always welcomed though.
