NUDE AESTHETICS

Naked is a human commodity. Nudity is God's art. — David Allio The nude does not simply represent the body, but relates it, by analogy, to all structures that have become part of our imaginative experience. The process of handcrafting a nude on canvas spells a slow, soulful, and seductive but restrained romance between the needle and the subject in order to achieve depth and luminescence. Puja Bhakoo’s series of thread paintings titled Nude Aesthetics captures the tenderness, spirit, and vulnerability of the nude form. Each thread painting is handcrafted with love and precision. Each stitch aims to negotiate and balance the thin line between the evocative and the provocative to create a form that’s nude but not naked.
