Nearly every visual artist spends sometime studying the human figure. It has been said by many an art teacher that if one can draw, paint, or sculpt the human form, one can paint or sculpt anything. Nothing is harder to understand for the artist than human anatomy.
With this in mind, a group of artist members of Gallery North in Edmonds will present a group show this month both to celebrate their artistic ability in rendering the human form and to show their respect for the structure, beauty, and complexity of the amazing human body.
The show will include drawings, paintings in many media, and bronze and glass sculptures. Some works demonstrate meticulous accuracy of human anatomy, some abstract the human form through color or shape, while still others speak to the expressive beauty of the body in movement and at rest.
It is these artists’ belief that seeing the body helps better understand all the ones around us as well as our own: male or female, old or young, beautiful or not.
