NUDE GEOGRAPHIES ends 18 August 2024

Posted on by

Deadline: 18 August 2024. The nude form has been portrayed in art throughout history, from the classical era to the Enlightenment and the modern era. The nude figure in Western art—specifically in photography—has expressed ideals of female and male beauty along with other human qualities, including life, energy, and a range of complex emotions. It has also presented contemporary depictions of the nude that challenge historical notions of ideal beauty.

Praxis Gallery seeks works that explore the nude in any of its varied styles, including figure studies, environmental nudes, implied nudes, and erotica—just to name a few of the many iterations of this genre. All genres, capture types, black & white, color, traditional and non-traditional photographic, and digital post-production processes are welcome for submission. Curated by: Praxis Directors

Prizes:

Up to 38 images will be selected by the curators for exhibition at Praxis Gallery. One Directors’ Choice and five Honorable Mentions will be awarded and featured in the exhibition, the printed show catalog, and the online exhibit gallery. Directors’ Choice will receive free entry into three juried calls for entry of their choice and a complimentary exhibit book.
