Disrobed
Several of the world鈥檚 most famous painters and sculptors will be 鈥渢aking it all off鈥� in an exhibition at the new Allan Stone Gallery, 5 East 82nd Street, New York, NY. Ousmane Sow, John De Andrea, Dean Howell and other equally notable artists will explore the subject of 鈥渘udity鈥� in Allan Stone Gallery鈥檚 latest exhibition.
Allan Stone Gallery Director Allison Stone Stabile said, 鈥淒isrobed is an exhibition about the process of becoming naked and how nudity is portrayed by these artists, not only as a state of being but also as an action. The works demonstrate that the act of disrobing reveals not only the skin of their subjects but also their personalities.鈥�
One highlight of the exhibition is a rare, nude African figure from Ousemane Sow鈥檚 monumental Nouba series. The Senegalese sculptor鈥檚 figure appears to be preparing for a ceremonial event, applying face paint while peering in a broken mirror.
John De Andrea鈥檚 Caucasian model is stripped bare to reveal a pale pink skin and lean body, while Dean Howell鈥檚 black male is caught in thought. Both figures appear oblivious to the fact they are being witnessed in the nude.
