My Fine Art Nudes The fine art nude is one of the most ancient subjects in art. My own nude figures always begin with live female or male models. I search for the sensual aspect of the figure, which tends to be sensuous lines for men and sensuous shapes for women. The inspiration for my figure drawings and paintings comes from powerful Renaissance realists like Michaelangelo, and modern masters of sensuality like Gauguin, Klimt, Matisse, and Degas. Because the human figure is infinitely varied and expressive, there is no limit to reinterpreting the nude. Today as ever, the fine art nude retains its universal and timeless appeal. Whether attracted by color, form, movement, or expression, I begin with art media that are swift and sensual, and work quickly to capture the figure. This spontaneous drawing may complete the art, or I may work the figure, whether nude or clothed, into a complex composition in painting and collage, often playful, energized with patterns that surround, overlap, and complement the figure. My fine art figures range from expressionistic and realistic to abstract and decorative, but they all reflect a sensuality and frank enjoyment of the nude body, male or female, which viewers find both charming and disarming.
