NAKED
A figurative Drawing Exhibition
July 10 - August 7, 2010
Historically, life drawing has been the most enduring and inspiring genre in representational art. Drawing the figure offers tools for development of artistic skills, expression of the human form, the witnessing of empathy, and exploration of the paradox of identity. With this in mind, the figurative drawing studio Basic Inquiry presents the provocative exhibition “Naked‘.
Basic Inquiry sustains a 27 year old philosophy of making available affordable life drawing in a non-critical environment; this philosophy is conducive to providing similarly non-critical exhibiting opportunities. “Naked” is a non-juried exhibition that is open to all artists that have confidence that their work captures the quintessence of the idiom naked. The results of such an exhibition are drawn dialogues that are not regulated by the credo of a jurying process, but are the voices direct from a collective environment that follows the axiom of magnanimity.
Drawing is essentially art making in it’s naked form; the origination of the processes, and a catalyst for interpretation. As artists seek enlightenment through immediacy and intimacy of the act of drawing, they will also strive for acceptance and encouragement as they expose their own metaphorical nakedness.

At Basic Inquiry; Small Blessings by Annamaria Potamiti
The life drawing studio Basic Inquiry enables artists the opportunity to enhance their figurative renderings, decipher the map of the body and explore the nuances of individuality. The artist takes these hard earned lessons and creates a body of work that with sensitivity exemplifies their passions and expertise.
