Body Language: Stories in Form, Juried National Figurative Show

This exhibit explores figurative art as both psychological terrain and contemporary inquiry, where the human body functions not merely as representation but as a site of emotional, social and perceptual complexity. The figure becomes a vessel for internal states of memory, tension, vulnerability, presence.

We will be showing work that pushes beyond academic or traditional figurative art, engaging the body through a distinctly contemporary lens. How does one interpret posture, gesture, connection, identity? 

Jurors: Figurative Artist Lynn Hurley and abstract painter Cristina Bowes
