“As an artist, I never dreamt of imaged myself being a life model…” Picarlo
Drawing the Black body, drawing on LGBTQIA+ experience.
We’re excited to be working with iconic artist-photographer, curator, archivist and activist Ajamu X to bring life drawing back to his South London creative haven. To highlight his critical work around Black LGBTQIA+ experiences, we’ll be welcoming life models who accentuate and celebrate the thrust of that work and their own inimitable Queerness.
We should also mention that most of the models will be will be taking their first 'steps' as art nudes, realising the creative and discursive power of their bodies.
In February, we welcome Picarlo to the life room.
“As an artist, I never dreamt or imagined myself being a life model, but as my creative practice evolves and develops, I’m ecstatic to embark on this new path.“
This is an inclusive, accessible drawing experience for all levels of ability, because, frankly, everyone can draw. Believe it!
Boards, paper and materials are also very much included, but feel free to bring your own. Only materials only can be used in the studio.
Hosted by Roy Joseph Butler, with guidance on where to begin and how to continue.
