Friend House Gallery April show
“When the straight white line is no longer down the middle of that long dark road … when the sun rises in the West and the moon sets in the East … when the good guys finish first and the bad guys pay for their dastardly deeds … when roosters lay eggs … when pigs fly … potters paint. “ Kathryn Hedgepeth

“Ten Naked Men”
Susan Singer returns to the Friend House Gallery with her series “Ten Naked Men” (formerly “Twelve Naked Men” — a few of the men are now otherwise occupied), which delves boldly into the world of the male nude, on March 14. The ten gentlemen are headless and mostly limbless, allowing the viewer to gawk at their torsos unimpeded. Drawn with pastels in strong and startling colors, they are meant to provoke reactions. Aware that female nudes are the norm, Singer wondered what would happen if males were depicted in their birthday suits. Displayed in a small room, the drawings surround the viewer with their silent yet moving stances: graceful, awkward, stolid, frail, athletic, hefty. Each is a tribute to the specific model as well as to maleness and humanity in general. There will be an Artist’s Talk at 6pm on the 14th, at which time Singer will answer questions and explain how she came to draw naked men.
Read below for the artist’s statement and to preview some of the work from the series. Read more >
