This edit looks at the diverse representations of the female nude as presented by our talented roster of artists. Through reclaiming and recontextualising such a powerful historical subject matter, each artist portrays the body through a unique lense, allowing tradition and contemporary thought to influence each composition.

Throughout most of Western art history, the ‘male gaze’ has scrutinised the female form, only portraying it as an object of desire. Today, artists portray the complexity of the female experience, using nudity to convey strength, vulnerability, and psychological profiles that form an honest narrative.
