The Liverpool Nude III





Hi everyone, we're delighted to announce we are now accepting submissions to 'The Liverpool Nude III', the third annual exhibition of life drawing and nude art by selected Liverpool life drawing groups.

92 Degrees are continuing to support us in what is now a noted part of Liverpool's artistic calendar and this year we will be occupying two venues; 92 Degrees on Hardman street and 92 Degrees on Myrtle Parade

Firstly though, there are some changes this year:

92 has a new hanging system which means we can only exhibit around half the number of works compared to previous years - space is definitely limited but it does look more professional. 

 Because of the space limitations we have decided to select one work per artist from a submission of up to two..  In the event of there being too many applications the curators will make a selection.

The two venues have different hanging methods so do please remember to say which venue you're submitting for.  Myrtle Parade - unframed works on paper or Hardman Street, framed works any medium except photography.

Nude Life; An Autobiography in Life Drawings

 Paul Gatenby,  This is the first life drawing I ever did.  You can just make out the date of 9 October 1988, I remember doing it quite clearly and I remember struggling with the relationship of head, neck and shoulders.  I kept drawing the figure too upright and didn't appreciate at the time how the human head comes forward from the body.  Interesting to see the horizontal lines drawn in where I was measuring 'how many heads' in the upright figure.  I did read lots of 'How to Draw the Figure' books back then. This one was a few weeks later.  I was really pleased with it - it's quite a good resemblance and the hands aren't bad either.  And yes we really did balance electric heaters on upturned wooden stools.  I'm won't mention any of the models names here for the sake of their privacy but many Liverpool artists and students will recognise this lady.  She worked at the Community College where I did my foundation when these drawings were d...

  Closing The Circle with Life Drawing Male Model, Billy (Oil Paint,1990) I think I used to be an artist of some sort. It seems many lifetimes before lockdown but it began in 1989 when I swapped the school tie of the all-boys sixth form uniform for a Clash T-shirt and started my Foundation Art and Design at Liverpool. I completely fell in love with it and it was a real sense of home coming to be in arts education. Suddenly my creative voice counted and I could begin to tell the story of my own life in images. I loved Art Foundation and although it was a yearlong course somehow, (back in the days of education funding and opportunity) I managed to hang on and stay for three years. During that time, the rigor of Life Drawing was a staple of the weekly structure. Often we would have a full day pose, or at least two afternoons working from either the female or male model. We learned the academic underpinning of all forms of visual practice which came from our own understanding of the sh...
