Art: Fourth Friday ‘Artist: Body’ Opening, Loudoun House

February 26, 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

The Lexington Art League presents Fourth Friday Artist: Body opening at 6 pm at the Loudoun House on February 26.

“Artist: Body takes the concept of a figure show and translates it through the lens of the self-portrait in contemporary art. A compelling survey of the artists’ image of themselves, Robson states, “Throughout the ages, images of the human body have been used by artists, often to explore allegory, beauty and sexuality. Time has witnessed many shifts in the way the body is portrayed and in recent decades, influenced by contemporary thinking and the availability of different visual technologies, artists have increasingly employed themselves as both the subject and object of their works.”

Among others, Artist: Body includes works by Louis Zoellar Bickett, John Coplans, Julius Deutschbauer,Bryce Hudson, Thaniel Ion Lee, Gabriel Martinez, Cynthia Norton, Cindy Sherman, Xaviera Simmons, Kiki Smith, Annie Sprinkle, Hannah Wilke, and Sam Taylor Wood.”
