“The Queer nude is…a means of self-expression, validation and power.”

In celebration of Pride Season, join us on Wednesday, 28th June at The Batsford Gallery to launch the latest exhibition of collaborative original work by artist-animator Leo Crane and art model-creative Roy Joseph Butler.

Works include original watercolours, new paintings, a series of large charcoal drawings and animations - all pieces of figurative art that challenge traditional notions of ‘the muse’ to present the model as artist and co-creator.

Featured projects include the multi-award-winning Nude Triumphant as well as L’amour rebelle, the first live opera on the blockchain (co-produced with Electrifying Opera).

No RSVP necessary, just turn up!

Sales proceeds go towards funding public programmes in advancing and diversifying engagement in visual storytelling.
