“NAKED” Uncovered, having no means of defense or protection open, unarmed, defenseless unprovided with needful or desirable accessories plain, mere, simple void of elaboration diminution or concealment, open to view, bare and pure bewitching both body and soul raw fury

“Naked to mine enemies”- Shakespeare

The basis of this show invites praise of the NAKED form. The human body, mould, external three dimensional shape that houses our hearts, souls, and limbs. The creatively different arrangement we call our body. NAKED is conceived to allow the artist freedom to create art with this image of the primal element of life, the human form, in mind. NAKED.

All two and three dimensional media are welcome, as well as time-based art. Let your ventures run NAKED.
