About
'Raw Perspectives’ brings together the work of 14 painters, photographers, sculptors and performance artists who are, each in their own unique way, exploring the definition and complexity of what it is to be ‘masculine’ in today’s society. It encourages questions and dialogue on the validity of the continuing stranglehold of the patriarchy on today’s culture; In particular, how the nude male body still remains behind almost impenetrable walls of censorship and taboo.
Created from the perspective of artists identifying from across the gender spectrum, the work invites the viewer into the intimate space between artist and subject; to look beneath the mask society so often requires be worn by those who identify as masculine. A mask that when worn, suppresses the multiple variations of masculinity and denies the open expression of all the beautiful, erotic, raw, vulnerable emotions that define our common humanity.
