Nude But Not Rude Art Exhibit Opened in Pasadena
e. e. cummings once wrote “A pretty girl who is naked is worth a million statues.” Residents of Pasadena who agree are now enjoying Linus Galleries’ art exhibit titled “The Nude But Not Rude.” The exhibit began June 15, 2012 and all artwork will be available for sale.
“We had an amazing amount of nude art to choose from,” states Gallery Owner Linnea Lenkus. “It’s inspiring always. We are so excited because this art show will bring in so many talents from all over the world portraying one of my favorite subjects.”
Nude But Not Rude is a collection of nude portraits that go beyond the physicality and obvious nakedness of the body. Featuring artwork by renowned artists such as Dan Pyle, Eric Pederson, Jeff Outlaw, Steve Rude, Loreal Prystaj, Randal Barbera, Ekaterina Bykhovskaya, Grace Modla, and more, Linus Galleries attempts to bring sophisticated and compelling artwork to their audiences.
During the opening reception, Linus Artist Steve Rude presented a live demonstration painting of a nude model. Gallery owner Linnea Lenkus, herself a popular fine art nude photographer, announced the last art exhibit’s winners.
Shown in April, Linus Galleries’ last art show was called the Lonely Planet. It was a collective art exhibition which encompassed the themes Landscapes, Abstracts, Portraits, and Green. Part of a community of local, national and international contemporary artists Linus Galleries states their mission is to bring these artists together and present them to a broader audience of art lovers.
LinusArtGalleries is located at 545 S. Raymond Ave. in Pasadena. The gallery is owned and curated by fine art photographer, Linnea Lenkus. It features two dimensional art from all over the world. Its two locations are Pasadena and Long Beach, California.
