The female body has been the exemplum of beauty throughout the history of art. The elegant lines, smooth curves, and inner strength all made possible by the forms and structures hidden from view.
It is with the increasing popularity of contemporary anatomical art that we begin to see the female body dissected and displayed in a powerful way.

Unabashed in their confidence to expose what is beneath, the artists in this exhibition presented females that are celebrated and empowered in their various states of anatomical undress. Confronting us to see the ultimate form of female exposure.
