October 2010 -Lisa Moses - Famous Men and Naked Women

"We are inundated with images, so much so that we take them for granted. I draw images from popular media in order to relocate them. I enlarge, rearrange, and reinterpret mass produced images as portraits and figure drawings. The process of redrawing is one of careful study, an opportunity to fully consider images I would otherwise take for granted. I engage with politicians, playboy models, and celebrities, the famous men and naked women of popular culture.

On one level, I am creating portraits of these individuals. On another, I am drawing portraits of the images, icons, and idols produced by our culture. I am creating self-portraits of us all. I am also interested in representing a diversity of bodies, those that we do not normally encounter in the daily stream of images. I engage with bodies not pictured in popular media, such as my own body. Through my self-portraits, I also explore themes of self-image and embodiment."

Join us on Thursday, September 30th at 7pm-9pm for the official opening party.
