Art Scene: Sarah surveys Portland galleries
Now, I know what you're thinking, "Yes, I love naked people in art!" Well don't we all, but you won't find it here, or at least not entirely. Naked is a group show of works on paper such as drawings, photographs, etchings and paintings by over 30 artists from both Maine and New York. June Fitzpatrick writes in her description of the show, "All works chosen exemplify states of exposure and vulnerability or are in themselves naked or bare or stripped down." Some of the subjects of the work reveal naked bodies, while other pieces reveal a side of the artist that is usually concealed, such as sketches or plans for a larger work. This concept breaks down the idea of what naked means. The artist can expose him or herself through revealing a side of his or her work not normally shown, or can just reveal good old fashioned flesh.
