ARTundressed offers a quality ‘Naughty Weekend’ in Miami, FL

If you are at a loose end in Florida this weekend and looking for some high quality entertainment with a different edge or perhaps some unique artwork for your walls; then ARTundressed’s 6th Annual Creative Nude Art Festival offers a naughty weekend in Miami and may be just the tonic for you.

This year Robert Babylon’s work is appearing in the ‘Invited Artist’ category and there will be a fine display of his UV and ‘natural’ light work – although sadly this year he won’t be able to join his work in Miami due to a prior engagement. The festival is three days of erotic entertainment of all kinds – full details of locations and times are available at the ARTundressed website http://artundressed.com/

ARTundressed celebrates the artistic, humorous, and sensual aspects of creative nude art; both in visual and performance arts. Since its inception, this event has toured many different countries and numerous cities from all over the world, including Miami, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Berlin (Germany), as well as Montreal and Toronto (Canada). The collection of exhibited artworks is always top-notch showcasing some of today most talented, creative, renowned artists and photographers. To differentiate our event, we go through a very calculated and selective process to feature top local, national and international artists, exhibiting some of the best nude art that exert the highest level of creativity.

In addition to displaying the best creativity in the nude art genre, a great amount of effort is spent on complimenting the “visual arts” portion of the event with Outrageous Fashion and Tantalizing Entertainment including Top International Deejays, Live Music, and Sexy Performance Art. Attending the ARTundressed event is truly a memorable, interactive, and erogenous experience.

RB Work Available at 12 Inches of Sin’s IMMERSIVE in Las Vegas

If there’s still a taboo around erotic art in Las Vegas, rest assured: Dr. Laura Henkel is breaking it. The curator and specialist in human sexuality helms the Sin City Gallery. She also runs 12 Inches of Sin, an annual juried erotic art exhibition. Now, for the competition’s fifth year, an immersive art experience will accompany the annual competition.

My work will be amongst the 300 works of erotic art included in the evenings festivities.

For the April 9 event, Dr. Henkel is taking over the entire Arts Factory complex, the converted warehouse where Sin City Gallery is located, amongst other fine art studios and commercial galleries. She hopes to encourage Las Vegas’ downtown arts scene, and from 1 PM to midnight, the complex will be filled with visual and performance art, lectures, and live entertainment.

“Sin City Gallery is dedicated to providing a serious professional forum, exhibit space, and series of publications for practitioners of provocative art who have too long been marginalized or excluded from so much of the art world,” reads a press release for the event.

“HIDDEN” ART Exhibition at The Nude Tin Can Gallery in St. Albans

The exhibition has started but fear not – it is not yet over and my neon painting “UV Liquid Gold” will be on display at the gallery in all it’s neon splendor for a while longer.

For all of those of you who can reach St Albans there is a chance to see one of my fluorescent Acrylic on Canvas paintings. Illuminated with UV light it glows creating a realistic experience of the original scene. My UV photography is viewed under ‘normal’ lighting while my Neon Artwork is fluorescent and is best viewed under UV light. The painting may also be viewed under ‘normal’ lighting but it takes on a whole new aspect when seen under UV lighting.

About the Exhibition:

A story within the art piece. A hidden meaning. An abstract concept. On occasion the artist is generous and reveals to the viewer the reason and meaning behind their creations…often the observer must discover and invent their own interpretation. Each piece of art will encourage the viewer to wonder and discover the narrative behind the work. A person, a place, a happening.

Urban Experience Exhibition at Nude Tin Can Gallery

City life is busy, dirty, chaotic…it’s also inspiring, rich and exciting…it’s dark, gritty, it’s scary…it’s beautiful, it’s heart stopping.

My fluorescent acrylic on canvas painting “UV Liquid Gold” has been retained from the Erotica exhibition for inclusion in Nude Tin Can Gallery’s next exhibition “Urban Experience”.

The world has become more urban than rural. Populations have soared in cities since the 1950’s. Human proximity has been rising as a result of increased world population. We will be showcasing a serious collection of Modern Art influenced by modern life and/or urban living. Original paintings and other artworks that capture the expressions of urban life. People coexist amongst the bricks and mortar there are human elements to urban life and the interaction of both.
